Egypt
The text states that in ancient Egypt, couples were considered married when they moved in together, and wedding ceremonies were reserved for the upper classes.
The claim that couples in ancient Egypt were considered married when they moved in together lacks direct evidence. Available sources discuss marriage contracts and specific customs but do not mention cohabitation as the sole criterion for marriage. Meanwhile, the claim that wedding ceremonies were reserved for the upper classes is not supported by the evidence, which indicates that weddings were celebrated across all social strata. Therefore, the overall claims present an incomplete and possibly misleading picture of ancient Egyptian matrimonial customs.
