What were marriages like in Inca times?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Inca culture, love was considered sacred and was regulated by laws, such as the servinacuy. Marriage was not based on romantic love as we understand it today, but was an agreement organized by parents and community leaders. Over time, love arose through coexistence<\/strong> and mutual respect.<\/p>\n

For the Inca nobility, marriages were not only an affective bond, but also political and economic alliances that helped consolidate power. In many cases, the future spouses did not know each other before the union. During the marriage, responsibilities were equal: both had to provide food and care for the children.<\/p>\n

What is servinacuy?<\/strong>
\nThe servinacuy was a tradition in which the bride and groom lived together for a period of six months to a year. If after this time they enjoyed life as a couple, the groom formally requested permission to marry, thus consolidating the union.<\/div>\n
