Aliança

Aliança primarily refers to an alliance, a union, or a pact. It can also signify a wedding ring, a visible symbol of commitment and union. The specific meaning depends heavily on context.

In international relations, "Aliança" translates to "alliance" and denotes a formal agreement between two or more nations, typically for mutual defense, economic cooperation, or shared political goals. These alliances are often formalized through treaties and may involve commitments to provide military assistance or other forms of support in times of crisis.

In a more general sense, "Aliança" can refer to any type of partnership or coalition, whether formal or informal, between individuals, groups, organizations, or even businesses. The underlying principle is collaboration toward a common objective.

In the context of marriage, "Aliança" refers to a wedding ring, a circular band worn on the finger (typically the ring finger) to symbolize the eternal bond and commitment between two individuals who are married. The ring itself is a tangible representation of the promises made during the wedding ceremony. The tradition of wearing wedding rings dates back to ancient times and remains a widespread cultural practice in many parts of the world. The term may also allude to the matrimonial covenant itself, implying the union and agreement made between the spouses.
