Abstract The social inequality dimensions of class, sex, marriage, same-sex marriage, and gender exist from set and identifiable criteria of social scientists. These dimensions are used by social scholars to assess and evaluate the level of social inequality in any community. In the process, social scientists have emphasized these dimensions as interdependent and the definition of social boundaries, making them acceptable as borders of social relevance. For this reason, dimensions like gender and sex inequalities exist from the social relevance created by history, tradition, culture, and religion. This research finds that the definition of social inequality in terms of gender, class, race, sex, and marriage is complex since these dimensions are complex. Complexity arises from their correlation, differences in perspectives, and perspective of individuals and society on social inequality.
