What were the marriage customs of a pharaoh?

Answer 1

Ancient Egyptian marriage was not as bigger thing a today. In fact, on the day of marriage, the wife would move all her possessions into the husbands house. There would maybe be a bit of dancing and music and a big feast, and a quick trip to the temple. A contract would be made. This contract would say that if a divorce occurred, the wife would be entitled to the children-if any-a portion the husbands riches, and her possessions back. People were encouraged to marry early, because of the short life expectancy on Egyptians. Peasant girls usually married at the age of 12, and nobles a few years later.

Firstly, to show they were commited to each other, they cut of each others tongue, before sewing their tongue unsideown into their partners mouth. this often created some distress, so it was likely that they were knocked out by a purple chimp (their god of bouncy balls 'chucky') to give them time to recover. it was a very comlicated process, but after awakening they drank some liquid magic shrooms from the depths of the river severn, and held hands until the hallucinations wore off. after that they had banging party to celebrate the new couple.

Answer 3

Yes, but there was no formal wedding ceremony; the usual term for marriage is written in hieroglyphs as rd'i n X Y m hmt [to give to X (man's name) Y (woman's name) as wife]. A woman would literally be handed over to the husband by her father. The term grg pr "to set up a household" was also used.

For most people, the main part of getting married was appearing before officials to have their names recorded and set up details of the marriage settlement (what property belonged individually to bride and groom). Then the couple set up their home - and they were married. The bride did not change her name on marriage since there were no family names - but she took the title "mistress of the house", while the man was termed hy ("husband").

The written marriage settlement would be kept in the archives of a nearby temple.
