PERSPECTIVE OF MARRIAGE ACROSS VARIOUS CULTURES

Marriage was a social compact with legal and financial ramifications in ancient Rome. Roman law distinguished between two categories of marriages: those based on mutual consent and those involving dowries. In order to solidify family ties and concentrate riches, marriages were frequently planned. A father's authority over his children included control over their marriages, according to the idea of patria potestas In Europe, the Christian Church started to have a big impact on marriage during the Middle Ages.

During this time, the banns of marriage were instituted, which require announcing a planned marriage in public to avoid covert partnerships.

For the sake of securing political ties, accumulating riches, and guaranteeing the continuation of family lineage, noble families arranged marriages. Though financial factors were still taken into account, peasants had greater discretion when it came to selecting mates.…
