		The court concluded that the bride intended the marriage to be in compliance with Ontario law while the groom had been under the mistaken impression that a license was not required as his intention was to move to Israel shortly after the wedding.
		In this case the groom had told his bride: "We are older people and local government recognizes a solely Jewish marriage." The bride relied on this innocent mistaken belief and the court was careful not to penalize her in these circumstances by declaring the marriage void.

	Law and the Legal System in the Old Testament by Gordon Wenham (Part II)
		An outstanding feature of biblical law is the pre-eminence it accords to human values, as opposed to the economic considerations of much cuneiform law.
		The principles underlying the biblical laws on punishment are summarized in Deuteronomy 19:19f., a passage dealing with the punishment of a false witness: ‘You shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.
		Neither in the laws of Hammurabi nor in the Pentateuch is imprisonment laid down as a punishment, though it was known in Egypt and under the later monarchy.

	The Old Babylonian period
		However, belonging to the Old Babylonian period, along with documents pertaining to civil law, were an increasing number of administrative records of privately managed households, inns, and farms: settlements of accounts, receipts, and notes on various transactions.
		The Kassite upper class, always a small minority, had been largely "Babylonianized." Babylonian names were to be found even among the royalty, and they predominated among the civil servants and the officers.
		In the literary arts this was a period of creativity; thus the later Babylonians with good reason regarded the time of Nebuchadrezzar I as one of the great eras of their history.

	Hammurabi Summary
		The laws, originally 282 in number, do not form a complete code in the modern sense but are rather a series of enactments dealing with specific cases in which reform or clarification was needed.
		While the penalties of his laws may seem cruel to modern readers, the fact that he not only put into writing the laws of his kingdom, but attempted to make them a systematic whole, is considered an important step forward in the evolution of civilization.
		While the code was applied and studied extensively in later Babylonian law (as seen in the library of Ashurbanipal), there as of yet have been no contemporary records discovered that record its use as an actual functioning law code during Hammurabi's own time.

		The three Assyrian law collections that have been found thus far all have a marked similarity to Sumerian and Babylonian law; the penalties provided for offenders under Assyrian law, however, were often more brutal and barbaric.

	The Story Of Religious Controversy: Chapter VIII
		The law, as I will now describe it, is so severe in regard to sexual offenses, and religious literature ascribes to the gods and goddesses so stern a demand of sexual purity in their worshipers, that the story is now generally abandoned.
		We are, however, chiefly interested here in the light which the code throws upon Babylonian notions of sex-morality; though it must not be supposed that I regard this as equal in importance to the just settlement by law of the relations of employers and employees or of husband and wife, master and slave.
		But all that the Babylonians knew, though their learned priest speculated much on the subject, was that the dead passed into a dark, dim cave under the earth, Arabu, or the House of Arabu.
