I just want to point out, I'm not sure whether it really matters or not, but women in ancient Rome could divorce their husbands (I'm not sure about ancient Greece or Egypt) and even though they weren't common, divorces did occur in the medieval era. Also, apparently there was a case where two men got married in Spain during the 1600s (I think), but this was probably a outlier in a plum society. I just wanted to point this out for anyone who may be starting their challenges soon. It provides for some entertaining storytelling.

Women could also divorce their husbands in Ancient Greece, but at one point they required permission from the government first (men did not). That rule changed eventually, but I'm not sure when. I've also read that in the case of a divorce, the children would generally remain with their father. I'm not sure on the accuracy of this, but I can imagine if true that would make some women less inclined to divorce their husbands. You're very right that this makes for good storytelling!
