Download or read book Consanguinity in Context written by Alan H. Bittles and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential guide to this major contemporary issue, Consanguinity in Context is a uniquely comprehensive account of intra-familial marriage. Detailed information on past and present religious, social and legal practices and prohibitions is presented as a backdrop to the preferences and beliefs of the 1100+ million people in consanguineous unions. Chapters on population genetics, and the role of consanguinity in reproductive behaviour and genetic variation, set the scene for critical analyses of the influence of consanguinity on health in the early years of life. The discussion on consanguinity and disorders of adulthood is the first review of its kind and is particularly relevant given the ageing of the global population. Incest is treated as a separate issue, with historical and present-day examples examined. The final three chapters deal in detail with practical issues, including genetic testing, education and counselling, national and international legislation and imperatives, and the future of consanguineous marriage worldwide.

This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Consanguineous Marriages in the American Population Much space is given to the alleged innate horror of incest, and frequent appeals are made to Scripture, wrongly assuming that the marriage Of cousins is prohibited in the Mosaic Law. The origin of prohibited degrees is only conjectural. The Christian Church apparently borrowed its prohibitory canons from the Roman Law,1 and a dispensation is still necessary before a Catholic can marry his first cousin. However, such dispensations have always been easy to oh tain, especially by royal families, and even the marriage of uncle and niece sometimes occurs, as among the Spanish Habsburgs, and as recently as 1889 in the House of Savoy. The prohibition of the marriage of first cousins was re moved in England by the Marriage Act of but by this time the idea of the harmfulness of kinship marriage was so thoroughly impressed upon the people that they were very prone to look askance at such unions, and if they were followed by any defective progeny, the fact would be noted, and looked upon as a chastisement visited upon the parents for their Sin. Naturally the idea became proverbial, and in some places it has in uenced the civil law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
