What is Roman Marriage and Divorce Practices about?
Marriage in ancient Rome was a family arrangement rather than a romantic union, with specific laws governing who could marry. The wedding process involved a betrothal ceremony, the signing of a contract, and a feast, while divorce was straightforward and common, particularly among the upper classes. Women could regain their dowries and independence upon divorce, but societal norms favored men, as husbands were not held accountable for adultery.
