The First Legal Marriage
The Egyptian’s were the first people to state marriage laws in the world, the laws stated marriage as a civil and legal relationship. Many weddings are still prearranged and the tradition of the groom’s family proposing to the bride is still performed. At the ceremony before the vows are exchanged a musical march called the “Zaffa” is performed. The march involves belly dancers, horns, drums and performers with swords.
