Did Lucius Malfoy marry Narcissa out of love why or why not?
Lucius married Narcissa out of duty, to perserve the pureblood status. I think it would be foolish to believe otherwise as the main objective of pureblood supremacists is to with-hold the traditions and values of the elite. Over the years I believe he respected Narcissa and held her in high esteem though I do not think there was any love involved in their marriage. They created an ‘heir’ and there is no doubt Lucius loves his son Draco, and is comfortable in his marriage of convienence. Narcissa may love Lucius and there are signs in the book, but his reception to her and general demeanour tell us otherwise. I do not believe he married Narcissa out of love, nor do I believe love grew between them over the years of their marriage. I do believe he held Narcissa in high esteem and respected her but nothing more.
