Answer by Krys
Marriage in Egypt was far less formal that it is now. There were no legal or religious ceremonies, , exception cases where a pre-nuptial agreement was made (such devices were known in Egypt. Though were not required, some people had them). There was possibly a bridal gift/dowry, though the evidence is far from certain on this aspect, and then the couple moved in – and that was that.Families no doubt held parties and festivities, but from a legal-religious view it was quite a low key affair, and the Egyptians didn’t regard marriage as a sacrosanct and eternal contract.

We don’t know a great deal about Royal weddings. The private life of Pharaonic Royalty existed in a completely opposite situation of modern Royalty in that it was kept almost entirely out of public view. A few Ramesside Pharaohs did not keep to this tradition, but they are very much the exception. As such, we honestly don’t know very much.

The marriage situation for the Pharaoh was very different – Unlike commoners Pharaonic marriages were polygamous, which was unknown amongst common Egyptians. Marriages to 1st degree relatives (i.e. parent-child, and between siblings) sometimes within the palace (not always, contrary to popular myth), but not amongst commoners.

Living with Colonialism: Nationalism and Culture in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan

Histories written in the aftermath of empire have often featured conquerors and peasant rebels but have said little about the vast staffs of locally recruited clerks, technicians, teachers, and medics who made colonialism work day-to-day. Even as these workers maintained the colonial state, they dreamed of displacing imperial power. This book examines the history of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (1898-1956) and the Republic of Sudan that followed in order to understand how colonialism worked on the ground, affected local cultures, influenced the rise of nationalism, and shaped the postcolonial nation-state.
Relying on a rich cache of Sudanese Arabic literary sources, including poetry, essays, and memoirs, as well as on colonial documents and photographs, this perceptive study examines colonialism from the viewpoint of those who lived and worked in its midst. By integrating the case of Sudan with material on other countries, particularly India, Sharkey gives her book broad comparative appeal. She shows that colonial legacies–such as inflexible borders, atomized multi-ethnic populations, and autocratic governing structures–have persisted, hobbling postcolonial nation-states. Thus countries like Sudan are still living with colonialism, struggling to achieve consensus and stability within borders that a fallen empire has left behind.
