Mayan women attached great importance to chastity, and even if they were captured, they were determined to remain chaste. After the Spanish invasion, many beautiful women were arrested. They all threatened to die and would never allow anyone to defile themselves.
Maya have the habit of early marriage. The average male 18 years old, female 14 years old, will get married and be monogamous. Marriage is arranged by parents, and the man asks the matchmaker to propose marriage (it is considered indecent for the woman's parents to propose marriage on their own initiative; If a man proposes to himself, it is also considered beneath his dignity. If both parties agree, the man will pay a bride price and the woman's parents will prepare a dowry for her daughter.
Marriage should be "marriage service". The wedding will be held at the woman's home. People gathered at the woman's house for a banquet. The wedding reception was very lively. After marriage, the groom will live in the woman's house (5 years) to work and live. If a man doesn't behave well (doesn't like work, etc.). ) and his father-in-law doesn't like it, he will be kicked out and will no longer admit this marriage. If you live for five years and your husband's family is satisfied, you are allowed to take your wife home.
Maya people are looking forward to their children's travel, and many children are blessed. Those who have no children, or children who lack women, offer sacrifices to God and ask God to give them children.
If the Mayans died, people often put some stones around the dead as yin money; But if a nobleman dies, he has to sacrifice things and others. Buried in the Pyramid of Palen is a chief, wearing a jade mask, crown, badge, necklace and jade beads, as well as jade rings and bracelets.
