I find it very stranger that they had no marriage ceremony. When you think of all the tomb paintings showing scenes of every day life it seems odd that we never see a wedding. Most cultures do have some kind of ceremony. However the degree of autonomy of the Egyptian woman had was way ahead of its time and certainly loads better than other Ancient cultures e.g the Romans

I found this information very interesting as i had studied the Egyptians but realised we had never covered marriage. I was rather shocked to read that they could actually get divorced and that it seems a lot simple and quicker then the modern day divorce.

I think that the polygamy wasn’t usual to common people because they just couldn’t sustain more than
one wife. Common men had to work hard those days, in the fields!!!!
