Abstract
Through specialized studies in the history of the old article, I
found a lot of cultural influences in Iraq have a clear echo of the
civilization of the Ancient Near East, especially Egypt, Anatolia
and the mini without the Levant (Syria and Palestine) and this is
due to trade relations, human migrations, including the cultural
triangle (Egypt- Hittite- Babylon and Assyria), and then found that
similar customs and traditions with them, and therefore has a
single side of a civilized social exchange is dealing with the wife of
her husband's betrayal, and what is the position of customs,
traditions and laws within this social crime, rejected by
communities that period of time from the late Bronze Age, has
been noted during the compilation of research material that the
Iraqi veterans talked about this situation in the laws that the laws
of both Laws Sumar (ur-Namu –Lipt Ashtar), or the laws of Semitic
(Ashnuna - Hammurabi), said this case demonstrates the
presence, but not necessarily was absolutely rampant! It is clear
from the legal materials that the situation was strictly the direction
of treason punishable by death, the wife and the lover is punished
either by death or him decide what the right of the wife become
unfaithful if her husband is also covered by King may consider a
resolution direction, and I have not seen the text deals with the
same old Iraqi full of the issue but found it was a simple text of
adultery, which suggests to me that they mentioned avoided or
minimized by the reference to it, as well as in Egypt, the punishment has been harsh against the treacherous murder of his
wife, dismembered, and with the same formula mentioned in the
Hittite laws articles One of the first reading of the impact of Iraq
are clear Clearly, the Hittite laws, except in the case of the
expansion of the exemption unfaithful husband from his wife, he
should put a sign on his head so as to distinguish it everywhere,
and also the death treacherous wife and her lover is her
husband's death if they requested it.
Fortunately, I found the text of a multi-reference to the
situation of a wife accused of adultery and that the parties to the
case are the kings of small states in Syria (kingdoms Ugaret and
Amurru) are two of the Hittite kingdom and its capital Hatusa,
addressed that issue the Code, which date back to (1225 BC. M)
to approximately , and highlighted it as a specific example of the
position of all parties to the actions taken to address them so as
not to break out of war between the two king Todhalia fourth
inductive indispensable in such problems as long as the Assyrian
enemy lurks for access to the coasts of Mediterranean, have been
put forward in this example the case of marriage between two
families Dynasties and the blessing of kings and their Lrod Hatti ,
inductive, and the results of the events after the divorce and the
confiscation of property and abdicated the throne, and, naturally,
did not apply the death penalty because it is the wife of the king's
daughter, and her uncle is the King, inductive, and therefore the
ability of financial fine gold.
It draws attention in the search, the offense and the
subordination of the blame lies at the head of the wife with her
lover, who believed with her Which was considered his wife is
unfaithful hit him, and the marriage and provided for the
codification of the contract between the parties to preserve the
truth at the expense of the rights of the husband the wife, and
there are a lot of legal materials in which the wife indicted
adultery, whether by the neighbor, for unknown reasons by a
husband or even get rid of his wife and its legal obligations
direction or the direction of his children, also noted that the death
was a test and the river are common in the legal materials is
subject to the wife Aimed at the water to see her innocence of the
charges against against adultery, and this relied on the valuable
sources in Arabic and foreign to enrich the subject between you,
and God accepted you well ... And peace ......
