It's the perfect example - Roman civil law, Justinian's Code in particular, is perhaps the most important and influential legal document from the ancient period.


Exactly. This dude has no idea what he's talking about. Justinian's Code was the original basis for the Civil Code in Louisiana.

I concede this point. I was referring to pre-Justinian Rome. I was ignorant of the application of Justinian Law to the institution of marriage. My next question would be whether or not this was an exceptionally rare period of secular marriage law or was it merely one example of many in the ancient (and not so Ancient) world?
