LIVING IN BABYLON,
What the Ancient Tablets Reveal About
Domestic Existence

What the Ancient Tablets Reveal About
Domestic Existence.
Glimpses Of family life in ancient
Babylonia are given by tho scriptures
from seneacherib's palace, now in the
British museum. From ths tablets 1t
appears that the family and the laws
concerning 1t were the foundation Of the
social system Of Babylonia. Take, as
an example. the relation Of father and
son. A son could repudiats his father
by the payment Of certain sum Of
money, but not his mother. In the tab
lets on family law It is written that q
son who wished to deny his mother
should have his hair cut of and bs ban
ished from the community. The law
relating to husband and wits was curl
ous. II . wife should say to her hus-
band. Thou art not my husband"
which was the Babylonian way Of say
Ing that she did not want to live with
him any more. then the offending
woman was to be thrown into the river.
But II the husband wanted . divorce. It
was = comparatively easy matter for
him to obtain 1t. All he had to do was
to return to his wife her dowry. II any.
and pay her q certain sum Of money:
he was then . FREQ man. and could
marry again II he felt disposed to do
80. The position occupied by women
In Babylonia was very different from
their position In the east at the present
day. The harem did not exist At all.
and the wife was looked upon a. the
head Of the household. A woman could
buy or sell property independent Of her
husband. could enter into agreements
or contract and could possess slaves.
In Assyria. which was . colony from
Babylonia the modern harem system
was In use and women on the whole
occupied very inferior position.
