Weddings during the slave rule were not performed as in the modern concept. Kings conquered the kingdoms, the conqueror often took away his choice as his bride and the consent of the bride was always not necessary.
All religious lands were confiscated and the King sanctioned marriages between noble families. The Emperor also introduced market and price control for food grains, cloth and other essentials. The land revenue was raised and made more efficient. Thus the Emperor enforced a highly centralized system of government.
