Novel Marriage Divorce

Marriage in Rome had been more of an agreement between  families. Men married in their early twenties and women in their early teens if they both had been Roman citizens. Slaves were forbidden to marry; however, after the emperor Augustus passed the law of Julia free slaves were allowed to marry as long as the one they married was not a senator. They would get married in the betrothal where the families would join together for a wedding. They would exchange gifts and marriage would be official by signing a paper and sealed with a kiss. Since getting married was important they would choose a date very specific because some dates were better then others and June was the best month.
