In Reconstructing Marriage - The Legal Status of Relationships in a
Changing Society Caroline Sorgjerd explores the essence of the
institution of marriage: what is the meaning of marriage today, how
has marriage been influenced by the legal recognition of new
cohabitation models and what should be the role of the institution
of marriage in the future? In order to understand what marriage
actually is in the twenty-first century it is necessary to identify
and analyze the formalities and function of marriage in society.
With a focus on Sweden, the author examines the historical
development of marriage - beginning as a 'gift from God' and now
being a gender-neutral institution - from a legal and political
perspective and taking into account the past and present role of
the Church of Sweden. The author then makes comparative assessments
concerning the legal and political developments leading toward the
adoption of gender-neutral marriage concepts in the Netherlands and
Spain despite different societal backgrounds. In addition, the
significance of the marital status under European Union law is
explored, under the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European
Union and in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice.
Also the relevant decisions based on the European Convention of
Human Rights, as interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights,
are examined. The author discovers that the key role that the
institution of marriage has played in the past still influences the
essence of marriage today and charges it with a special symbolic
value.
