1. contrasting study the excerpts from the
justinian code. what does the code say
about marriage?

I found this (I hope it helps):

Roman citizens are bound together in lawful matrimony when they are

united according to law, the males having attained the age of puberty,

and the females a marriageable age, whether they are fathers or sons

of a family; but, of the latter, they must first obtain the consent of

their parents, in whose power they are. For both natural reason and

the law require this consent; so much so, indeed, that it ought to

precede the marriage.It is not every women that can be taken as a

wife: for marriage with certain classes or persons is forbidden.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (4) flip a coin as each participant arrives,heads indicates assignment to the first group: tails indicates assignment to the second group;

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
