The Greek observer Plutarch indicates that a second wedding among Romans was likely to be a quieter affair, as a widow would still feel the absence of her dead husband, and a divorcée ought to feel shame.
Grčki istoričar Plutarh nagoveštava da je drugo venčanje kod Rimljana verovatno bilo skromnije od prvog, budući da bi udovica još uvek osećala nedostatak svog pokojnog supruga, a razvedena žena bi trebalo da oseća stid.
