Line 10:
The stable marriage problem has been stated as follows:
{{quote|Given ''n'' men and ''n'' women, where each person has ranked all members of the opposite sex in order of preference, marry the men and women together such that there are no two people of opposite sex who would both rather have each other than their current partners. When there are no such pairs of people, the set of marriages is deemed stable.}}
The existence of two classes that need to be paired with each other (heterosexual men and women in this example) distinguishes this problem from the [[stable roommates problem]].
