Bigamie chez les Assyriens du début du IIe millénaire
Abstract : At the beginning of the IInd millennium BC, Assyrian merchants, from the city-state Aššur, organize large scale commercial exchange with Anatolia; they settle down in a foreign country. Far away from their home for a long period, some of them marry a second time in the Kaniš colony, in the centre of Anatolia. But this second marriage is possible only in the respect of two rules: a merchant may not have two spouses with the same status and he cannot have two wives in the same place. Some contracts consider the second marriage and allow us to define its conditions. Several letters precise some aspects of the Old Assyrian marriage and women condition, the husbands being judicially bigamous.
