    It was an engagement to be married, but in those days, a betrothal event considered the man & woman to be fully committed to marriage, unlike today where an engagement can be 'called off'. A betrothal could take place a year or more before the actual marriage ceremony.

    Except for exceptional circumstances, (such as: Matthew 1:18.19, where Joseph was entitled to call off the betrothal to Mary because of her presumably being unfaithful, he was then visited by the Angel of the Lord to confirm to him that Mary's pregnancy was from the Lord & not because of any fornication), a betrothal was binding & could not be annulled.
