mariage blanc
Mariage blanc (from the French, literally "white marriage") is a marriage which is without consummation.〔Bliss, Alan. (1996) ''A Dictionary of Foreign Words and Phrases in Current English.'' Routledge, London. ISBN 0-415-05905-4〕 The persons may have married for a variety of reasons, for example, a marriage of convenience is usually entered into in order to aid or rescue one of the principals of the marriage from persecution or harm; or for economic, social or visa advantage. Another example is a lavender marriage, one undertaken to disguise the homosexuality of one or both partners.
==Etymology==
The expression may derive from the absence of hymenal blood on the couple's (white) wedding-night bed-sheets;〔Ayto, John. (1993) ''Euphemisms.'' Bloomsbury, London. ISBN 0-7475-1294-9.〕 however, the French word ''blanc'' also means ''blank'' in the sense of ''empty'', e.g. ''cartouche à blanc'' = a blank cartridge, one lacking a bullet.
