For Sumer and Akkad and Assyria , we have an understanding of their material culture in the form of archaeology archaeologial evidence. We have glimpses of their culture, from Gilgamesh and the Eannatum , but we can only guess of their demeanor. Were these laws of marriage built out of necessity or whim, a personal desire of Hammurabi s or to correct a perceived ill of society? The short answer, of course, is that we ll never know. One can see a basic egalitarian spirit within the code. It treats male and female slaves equally.

But the protection afforded to wives, though well mannered, is like the protection afforded to the honest merchant, the oxen and the ill gotten slave. A woman is required to kill herself if a charge of adultery is brought against her, not for her impurity, but because she has brought shame upon the family. This is the case with no guilt. If she has actually committed adultery, then she is to be thrown into the river. Divorce Divorce is acceptable, even amiable, if it s a matter of returning the dowry and getting a refund on the bride price. Finding a new wife, marrying a priestess, they ve all got their rules.
