Albert Einstein married Mileva Marić on January 6, 1903. The two had met while studying at the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, where they developed a strong bond over their mutual love of science and mathematics.
The marriage was significant not only because of their personal relationship but also because Mileva was an accomplished physicist in her own right, and their partnership stirred considerable interest in the scientific community. However, their marriage faced many challenges, including personal and professional strains, which ultimately led to their divorce in 1919.
