Getting divorced and remarried are now common practices in European
societies, even if the rules differ from one country to the next.
Civil marriage law still echoes religious marriage law, which for
centuries determined which persons could enter into marriage with
each other and how validly contracted marriages could be ended.
Religions and denominations also had different regulations
regarding whether a divorce only ended marital obligations or also
permitted remarriage during the lifetime of the divorced spouse.
This book deals with predominantly handwritten documents of divorce
proceedings from the British Isles to Western, Central, and
Southeastern Europe, and from 1600 to the 1930s. The praxeological
analysis reveals the arguments and strategies put forward to obtain
or prevent divorce, as well as the social and, above all, economic
conditions and arrangements connected with divorce. The
contributions break new ground by combining previously often
separate fields of research and regions of investigation. It makes
clear that the gender order doesn’t always run along religious
lines, as was too often assumed. This book will be of interest to
all scholars and students of economic, social, religious, cultural,
legal, and gender history as well as gender and well-being in a
broader sense.
