Marthur is the het ship between Molly Weasley (née. Prewett) and Arthur Weasley from the Harry Potter fandom.
Canon[]
Arthur and Molly both attended Hogwarts in the 1960s and were both sorted into Gryffindor. They met and started dating during their Hogwarts years. One night, Arthur and Molly went for a night-time stroll and while Molly managed to get away, Arthur was caught by caretaker Apollyon Pringle.
Shortly after graduating from Hogwarts, the couple got married and started to live in the Burrow. Their marriage was rushed due to the rise of Lord Voldemort, although Molly denied this, saying it was because she and Arthur were meant for each other. The two were not members of the original Order of the Phoenix, possibly due to them having to take care of young children, but still had some involvement in the war. Molly's brothers Fabian and Gideon were members of the Order and Arthur was familiar with the Death Eaters' use of the Imperius Curse. During the First Wizarding War, the couple had seven children.

After the war, the two continued to take care of their children. During the next around decade, their children started attending Hogwarts, with Bill starting in 1982 and Ginny starting in 1992. One Christmas in the 1980s, Molly and Arthur came to visit Hogwarts to spend time with Bill, Charlie and some of their friends. They also visited Hogwarts on another Christmas when Charlie was injured decorating a Christmas tree, and as such unable to return to the Burrow for the Christmas holidays.
In 1995, Molly and Arthur became members of the reformed Order of the Phoenix following the return of Lord Voldemort. They both fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. While they survived, their son Fred died, devastating them. After the war, Molly and Arthur became grandparents of many Weasley and Potter children.

Fanon[]
Marthur has some popularity. While not shipped as actively as the main character ships, the pairing is accepted by most of the fandom as they are introduced as a married couple with a good relationship. Generally, the ship is not very discussed as unlike the very popular ships, there is not much disagreement. Some feel the pairing is underrated as people generally pay more attention to ships involving younger characters.
