Read “Utopia” by Saint Thomas More. What is the contrast between Utopian marriage customs and European ones in More’s time? Do we moderns have something in common with the Utopians regarding relations before marriage?

Utopian marriages had great importance to people. Before the marrying partners could give their final acceptance, both males and females would be presented to each other under a patron or matron. However, in other marriages at the time, chastity and inspection were not practiced. Utopian marriages are similar to modern ones because both allow divorce if one partner in the institution commits adultery.
