Morphological NotesVerb, imperfect passive indicative, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IPP3,,P,). The imperfect tense conveys continuous or repeated past action; passive voice indicates the subjects are acted upon.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is rendered in the imperfect passive indicative, third person plural, reflecting an ongoing past action done to the subjects. "Were being given in marriage" preserves both the passive voice (they receive the action) and the durative sense of the imperfect tense.
