From the late eighteenth century, more and more men and women
wished to marry their cousins or in-laws. This aim was primarily
linked to changes in marriage concepts, which were increasingly
based on familiarity. Wealthy as well as economically precarious
households counted on related marriage partners. Such unions,
however, faced centuries-old marriage impediments. Bridal couples
had to apply for a papal dispensation. This meant a hurdled,
lengthy and also expensive procedure. This book shows that
applicants in four dioceses – Brixen, Chur, Salzburg and Trent
– took very different paths through the thicket of bureaucracy to
achieve their goal. How did they argue their marriage projects? How
did they succeed and why did so many fail? Tenacity often proved
decisive in the end.
