    1. No before 18th century only in India diamond were founded but after they founded in Africa and Brazil

  4. The wedding rings was not a commandment from the Most High (Yahweh) nor biblical. “True” it was the Egyptian and Roman culture. All paganism tradition.
    Correction….The first marital union was Adam and Eve. Genesis 2: 18-25

    Learn not the ways of the heathen
    “Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.”
    ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭10:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.”
    ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭18:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

  5. ngl marriage being man buying the wife from the father, is like basically still a thing today in a lot of places.

  6. Interesting, etymologically, how “bond”–from the 15th century “a binder to pay a sum to another”–was merely a phonetic variant of “band” (as in wedding?). Especially with dowry contracts, the “purchase” of the woman was finalized in “wedlock.” Today, with feminist-attained equality, perhaps the use of such rings is an objectionable anachronism from patriarchal, semi-feudal times.
