Usage notes
- Usually transitive: maritare una figlia. For two people marrying each other, use sposarsi, not maritarsi in standard Italian.
- Maritare is old-fashioned or formal when parents arrange a woman's marriage; in modern speech it often sounds literary or traditional.
- Reflexive maritarsi exists but is regional/dated. Standard Italian prefers sposarsi for 'to get married.'
