could be performed had much to do with the decadence of roman morals accord ing to dean p e corbett of mcgill university who addressed the his torical association of montreal at a on early roman marriage- he explained that the earliest form of marriage in rome was a ceremony which was nothing more than a ficti tious purchase a survival in custom of the times when wives were actual ly bought by their husbands it con sisted of the husband striking a bal ance with a copper ingot and carrying his wife across the threshold ot his home crowds following the couple and singing ribald songs the sec ond form of marriage was for those of higher birth and necessitated a ceremony performed by the high priests the third form which came later consisted of a mutual agreement to live together for one year if dur ing this time the woman left her hus bands house for three consecutive days she retained her rights as a roman woman and her position inher own family if she did not do this her rights were submerged in those of her husband the mutual consent of the two parties was all that was necessary for a divorce or the declaration from the husband take your own property yourself when the divorce laws became stricter a woman could only be divorced on the grounds or in fidelity the forging of keys and the drinking of wine this last because of the high cost of wine wheat pools faced with
