Traveling to Mesopotamia I also decided to explore the Marriage Market. The Babylonian marriage market was very famous, during this time men and women could not simply just get married. They had to write up a legal document and get it approved, then they would have to hold a wedding ceremony which included a big feast or else it wasn't legitimate. According to the article I read this also included five stages of which needed to be done in order to get officially married which included, marriage contract, the dowry, the feast, the bride moving into the father in laws house, and then consummate the marriage. If any of the steps were not performed the marriage contract could be broken, or the bride returned to her family. The marriage market was also a place were many couples were at writing up their contract, and also witnesses to legitimize the marriage as a whole. The artifact I have chosen is called " Marriage of Inanna and Dumzi," this represents the Goddess and the King who married. Which is symbolic of how marriage worked during this time because the Highest bidder would get whatever woman he wanted. This couple being a high class couple shows how valuable some women were compared to others. A very important aspect to marriage during this time was the conceiving of a child, and if the woman didn't get pregnant during their first time she could be returned home and the contract could be broken. Another important aspect during this time was Divorce, which didn't happen very often but if it did for reasons of women having affairs she could be killed. This was up to the husband if she stayed alive or not. If you were caught having an affair as a woman you were most likely sentenced to death. Although marriages were very contract based during this time many poems, and writings were found of Men writing about the deep love and admiration they felt.

Headcanons for public holidays in Jedha based on Malaysia 🇲🇾 (Part 1)

I imagined that Jedha City will not only be home to pilgrims and seekers of the Force, but also immigrants who come from a wide variety of systems and brought in their own religions and holidays from their planet to the Holy City, that every month there's at least two separate festivities going on.

Disclaimer: I'm writing from the perspective of a Malaysian Chinese, so you may see that I heavily lean into holidays from the Chinese lunar calendar and there's bound to be something that I'll miss out. If there's anything you think I should add on, please let me know.

The first month

Outside of the celebration of the New Year, Thaipusam is observed by thousands of devotees who gather at a large cave temple outside the Holy City with a 42m high golden statue at the entrance and a flight of 272 steps leading to the temple itself and held long processions that lasted for the whole day.

The second month

The night before 春节 Spring Festival starts, families will return to their kampung (home village or district) to visit their parents/elders and have a Reunion Dinner. A lot of lion dances and firecrackers as well. Fifteen days later, Lantern Festival is on and people would carry paper tanglung on the streets and release sky lanterns at night.

The third month

On the 12th, the birthday of the revered Prophet Muhammad is observed and had been declared as a public holiday in Jedha.

[I'm so sorry, I couldn't find any other relevant pics that show the observance of Prophet Muhammad's birthday. :( ]

The fourth month

Either on the 4th, 5th or 6th depending on the seasonal cycle, there's Tomb-Sweeping Day where people will head to cemeteries to pay respect to deceased members of the family by bringing offerings and burning incense as well as clean up their tombs.
