Papers by Omona David
where peaceful relationship between two or more
parties is hatched, enacted, cemented, maintained,
and reenacted through marriage. This form of
establishing, maintaining, and reenacting relationships between people of diverse traditions has
been part of human interaction from antiquity.
Whereas right from antiquity women were
blamed for all ills of life, as seen in the writings
of the Greek Hesiod in the myth of the great
woman “Pandora” – who is believed to have
“opened the lid of a jar containing all plagues
and diseases of the world and let them out”
(Pomeroy et al. 2004, p. 72), they also have invariably been the source of enacting, maintaining, and
reenacting peaceful relationships between people
who are or would have been enemies.
Besides, marriage is a mark of responsibility
and a symbol of maturity, and it has been used
over the years as a means of forging political,
economic, and military alliances between people
who are not kinsmen (Talbot 1967, p. 193).
Although some relationships established based
on marriage have failed to achieve the intended
goals, it has helped to maintain peaceful coexistence between people. The power of marriage to
unite and maintain peace was well understood by
ancient Empires, Kingdoms, and Chiefdoms.
They have invariably used marriage to build,
maintain, and reenact friendships.
This entry on bed diplomacy places the bed at
the center of relationship in marriage because it is
on the bed that marriage is consummated. This
discourse is followed in the entry by a way of
analyzing how the application of bed diplomacy
during preconflict, active conflict, and postconflict levels can be used to address conflicts.
