Sologamy or autogamy is marriage by a person to themself. Critics argue that the practice is not legally binding, unlike traditional marriage.[1] whilst supporters of the practice argue that it affirms one's value[2] and leads to a happier life.[3][4]
An alternative term is self-marriage[5][6] or self-cest (selfcest), but this may also refer to a self-uniting marriage, which is a marriage without an officiant.[7]
