Arranged Marriages预定婚姻In Israel about the time of Jesus.在耶酥时代的以色列, The custom for marriages was arranged marriages. 婚姻的传统是用预定的形式. The marriage papers or legal contracts were signed at the time of arrangement of the marriage not when the couple had the wedding feast. 婚约或法律(婚姻)合同是通过预先安排而不是等到婚礼的时候. The signing of the papers may have happened before the two people have even meet. 甚至当事人还曾未见过面,婚约都已经签订了. Some times the arranged marriage one or both parties may be as young as to or three and would get married at a prearranged age say between 12-16 years old. 有时候定婚当事人只有两三岁大. 而他们要直到十二到十六岁时才结婚. Mary and Joseph had an arranged marriage as was the custom of the time. 马利亚和约瑟夫的婚姻当时就属于这种情况. With an extra complication Mary was pregnant which allowed Joseph to send her away. 但当时马利亚怀孕了, 按照传统, 约瑟夫是可以休掉她的. That is why God sent an angel to talk with Joseph. 这就是为什么上帝派遣一位天使传递信息给约瑟夫. |
