The fact that ghouls didn't addapt any traditions is news to me. Arguable at best.

Anyway... you know, this topic is a little tricky to discuss.

Marriage is man-made. Nothing physical. We determined that putting a ring on each other's hands and kissing each other in a church after some pastor told us to do so means to get married. Of course there's some paperwork now and all of that, but basically it started off as something symbolic. Purely symbolic.

Hence, the whole discussion just gets pointless. As something purely symbolic, anything ​could be seen as a marriage as long as both parties perceive it as one. That "something that never fades"-line might not literally ​mean that it never goes away. Just something symbolic. We only have our human definition of "marriage" for comparison. I think it would be pretty logical for ghouls to have that kind of ceremony though - Touka sure as hell isn't the only ghoul who wanted to copy that tradition, too.

Not that I don't agree with your statement at all, it's just that this topic is so vague that it's entirelly pointless to argue about it at all until we're told how it is. I also doubt Touka is the kinda of person to make something like this up (just a personal view though).
