Ancient history informs us that the
Greeks and Romans enacted laws and
carried them into practice forthe pur-
pose Of promoting matrimony. Amongst
the Greeks, particularly, tue marriage
state was much respected, and they had
numerous laws for its promotion and
protection. AtAthens, a man could moi
occupy alacrative or honorable position
unless he was married. And in Sparta,
heavy tdres and penolties were imposed
upon people for not marrying. after they
arrived at a manageable age. The Ro,
mans likewise considered it the duty 81
every citizen to marry, and they imposed,
by law, Zine and tar upon all persons
who neglected to perform this sacred
duty to the Empire.
Coming down to modern times w
find that the lawsfof England, and also
our own laws, have always highly
favored the Institution of matrimony.-
The British Parliament and the Virgins
Legislature have time upon time, passed
laws promoting and projecting the mar.
