Marriage and Ancient Rome Eras
CHAPTER 1
The Problem and its Setting
I. Introduction
A. Background of the study
Premarital sex, also known as adolescent sex or youthful sex is a sexual activity that is practiced by people who are not yet married. The term “premarital sex” is referred to any sexual relations among people prior to marriage. During the 1950s, Western societies consider men and women of age 21 as a legal basis for marriage, as such there were no considerations that one who had sex would not marry. Thus, the case was not clear whether sexual intercourses between individuals legally forbidden from marrying, or one uninterested in marrying could be considered premarital.
Historically, premarital sex is considered as taboo by many cultures and sin by numerous religions, but it has more commonly accepted as a sin as decades have passed by. History cannot directly tell us where premarital sex exactly originated but study shows that it was in Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt and ancient Rome eras where people have practiced sex before marriage as part of several rituals, ceremonies and celebrations.
The study is significant to everyone, especially to the youth who are still unaware of the different effects it may bring to the society and to their own lives. It is important that the people’s attention be caught so that their awareness about premarital sex and its effects will increase and as a result, they will be one of those well-educated people who show concern not only to themselves but to the society.
