Solution Preview
Marriage in the Mesopotamia society was regarded as one of the most important institutions within the community, which explains the level of attention paid to observing the laws within marriage institutions. In the research conducted by Stol, different sources of first hand information, including records from the period preserved through history indicate that marriage served as the pinnacle of family units.[1]The basis of the marriage unit was payment of dowry by the husband, which then gave him and his wife the authority to live alone within their desired area of residence.
