Prostitution.

Was marriage prostitution in the early centuries? I believe so, because many woman solely married for money, and they only thing the man got out of that marriage was sex, and a trophy wife. Most marriages were set up in order to marry the daughter off into a rich family, so she could have a good life, but it didn't matter if she wanted to go with him or not, or if she loved him. If he had money, and he would want to marry her, then it just happened. I have a hard time believing that the woman openly gave herself away like that, I think it had to have been more of the parents choice. It's just like today, some young girl is trying to hook up with an old guy so when he dies, she will get all of his money, and while he was alive he got her to have sex with him. No right-minded girl would have sex with a nasty old guy, except to get rich in the end. I think that is prostitution, just legal, because it's "love". Either way, it's still prostitution, it's still wrong, and it's still nasty.
