This book investigates marriage and divorce in the
nineteenth-century European territories of the Russian Empire. It
uncovers the way a peasant community employed unsanctioned marital
behaviour, such as cohabitation and bigamy, among others, in order
to respond to the external factors that had an impact on the family
life, including transmission of inheritance and household
structure. Lithuania was part of the Tsarist Empire until 1914.
This case study reveals how under often restrictive laws and
policies - serfdom up to 1861, and the pervasive role of the
Church, in addition to deep-rooted customary practices - women and
men manage to normalize their family life. The volume is based on a
wide range of archival sources and uncovers familial behaviour both
from an individual and community perspectives.
