Do you know how marriage was defined in ancient Greece? Noel said in a calmer tone. Its really simple. A virgin goes to mans house with the family gathered as witnesses.

About This Quote

In ancient Greece, marriage was defined by a simple formula. The first step of the process was for a girl to go to the man's house. She had to be accompanied by her mother and father and the rest of the family. Once there, she would be required to share a meal with her prospective husband and his family.

If they were still not married, then the girl was required to share a bed with him that night. This meant that if they were not married, they would have to marry next morning.
