This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Law Marriage, and Its Development, in the United States Again, the strictly legal aspects of marriage cover a wide area in the field of jurisprudence. Our present con cern, however, is only with the legal effect of informal or irregular marriages by the common law of England and the development of that law in the United States. Common law marriage may be defined as a marriage which does not depend for its validity upon any religious or civil ceremony but is created by the consent of the parties as any other contract. The term common law marriage, however, is not strictly an accurate one. Some writers on the subject prefer not to call it by that name, and some of those that do, make apologies for it.

Download or read book The Marriage Process in the United States Classic Reprint written by S. B. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marriage Process in the United States The subject of these pages - the marriage process - is comparatively new in this country. Down to the year 1884, marriage disputes, even those involving the validity of marriages already contracted, were, as a rule, decided, with us, by the bishop, or also by rectors of parishes, and sometimes even by assistant priests, without any judicial formalities whatever. This mode of procedure was naturally open to serious inconveniences, and was calculated to imperil, in many cases, the stability and indissolubility of marriages. To obviate these disadvantages, the S. C. de Prop. Fide, in 1884, issued the Instruction Causae Matrimoniales for this country. This Instruction or law substantially lays down and makes obligatory here, in matrimonial contentions involving the validity of a marriage contracted, the manner of proceeding which is prescribed by the general law of the Church and obtains throughout the entire Church. This mode of deciding marriage disputes is judicial, and is to be conducted by the bishop's court for marriage causes. In some respects the judicial formalities of the marriage process are the same as those of other ecclesiastical trials. But in no small number of points there are wide divergencies between the two. From the very nature of the subject-matter in dispute, the marriage trial has many peculiarities, and is frequently more intricate and complex than other ecclesiastical trials.

Download or read book Marriage in the States Classic Reprint written by John Talbot Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marriage in the States This indifference of parents does not always remain quiescent. The more resolute oppose by secret or open means the approach of suitors for their girls. And employ the arts of persuasion and satire to delay the marriage of their sons. How cleverly this is done among the simple would surprise the experienced. Here is an illustration: the family had eight children of marriageable age, good examples of the irish-american stock, bright, alert, sociable. The mother, without a single utterance against the marriage state itself, and behind a cordial reception to suitors, man aged a campaign of satire and ridicule against the young men which secured for them a lively rejection of their matrimonial proposals; with the result that the four girls died early and unmarried, quite satisfied that they hadescaped the burdens of married life. 0f the four boys one married early, but could never bring his wife to meet his ntother; a second married after the mother's death and was then over fifty, for the determined old lady lived long; the other two remained bachelors. The extraordinary preva lence of these instances, and the various forms which they assume must be well known to pastors. A shrewd old father with a good working family, foreseeing his helpless old age, highly appreciative of a comfortable hrme, but deprived by death of his wife's aid, will play the game himself with success; or an 'der sister left in charge of the family will scheme against matrimonial invasion of her inheritance. My attention was at first attracted to this strange condition by the apparent failure of certain families in the third generation. For example, here would be a father and mother of Irish birth, whose brother; and sisters numbered perhaps a dozen, who had endured the hardships of emigra tion and of getting a footing in new lands with splendid strength, who presented the country with ten fine children, and who saw their old age honored with four grandchildren! This phenomenon should open the sleepiest eyr and yet it is as common as our daily bread. Four children in the third generation where there should have been forty. Examina tion showed many causes for this extraordinary failure, but in my experience the chief was the absence of marriages, or late marriages, among those children; and the source of the trouble was a jealous and foolish old woman, determined to keep her children at her side while she lived. And her old age was as garrulous against the married state as her middle age had been critical of suitors. A large family brought up in this hostile atmosphere, reduced to a comfortable and harmless routine, succumbs more easily to disease than an active marrying family. These determined old wore haveoften suffered the double punishment of seeing their chil dren perish before their time, while the marrying family next door multiplied on the earth and trooped back on occasions with companies of children to gladden the home of the grandparents. My children had every advantage, one old mother said me, and half of them are dead, and the other half look as old as mesclf. But the Cronins that lived on potatoes and buttermilk and got no training at all, at all, and married at the croas-roads - there's no end to them. It would be useless to tell her that she had culti vated carefully her own misfortunes, that the ma; ried state has been so blessed by the Creator that its duties and re sponsibilities develop strength, health, longevity, cheerful ness, resource, and that for most people it is the natural condition in the third decade.

The views of these extremists are supplemented by writers like Mr. Richard, who seeks in this age, near the dawn of the twentieth century, to bolster up the curse of polygamy, by arguments to prove that it is the form of marriage not only authorized but distinctly sanctioned by the Almighty and the Marquis of Queensberry, who seriously objects to monogamy as a grievous error, and altogether a barbarous institution born of hypocrisy and bigotry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Marriage of First Cousins The question of kinship in marriage, within what degrees it should be permitted, and whether near of kin Should be allowed and even encouraged to marry has attracted attention and provoked discussion from very early times. Reasoned Objection to marriages of near kin on the grounds Of harm to the Offspring, however, seems to be of relatively late growth. Plato, in the Laws, says that the reason why such marriages are forbidden (he is re ferring to the marriage of brother and sister) is simply habit and custom, as were such marriages allowed people would marry those most like themselves, which would prevent the proper mixture of character and property.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When You Marry The authors of this book, who had already served as two of the memo bers of the committee that prepared the outline of the course, were asked to prepare a workbook to be used in conjunction with a textbook as the basis of a prospective course in the United States Armed Forces Institute. Although a course in Marriage and the Family has not yet been included in the program of the Institute, the authors were encour aged, by indications of widespread interest in a course with the same objectives for all young people preparing for marriage, to write the pres ent volume. The authors of When You Marry are unusually well qualified by their training and experience to prepare a volume meeting the present pressing needs and concerns of young people.

Dr. Reuben Hill had his graduate training in so ciology. Organizer and director for four years of the interdepartmental courses in marriage at the University of Wisconsin, with further experi ence in the University of South Dakota, Iowa State College, and nu merous informal collegiate situations, he has intimate knowledge of the problems of college youth and experience and skill in methods of teach ing adapted to their interests.

This book was released on 2018-08-26 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Husband and Wife The ground-work of the present volume on the law of Husband and Wife will be found in a treatise of some three hundred pages which the author's earlier work on the Domestic Relations contains. But when that treatise was written, the Married Women's Acts in England and America were a sort of first experiment or agitation; and since the second edition of the Domestic Relations not less than three thousand points have been decided, all tending to establish a mod ern jurisprudence concerning married women's rights, which decisions the author has examined while pre paring the present work, in addition to earlier author ities and various local codes. He has consequently expanded his subject, re-arranged his plan, and revised and re-written every topic, and the present work will be found essentially a new one, so far as relates espe cially to Promises to Marry, the Wife's Separate Pr0p erty under Equity and Recent Statutes, Transactions between Husband and Wife, Various Matters of Prac tice, and Separation and Divorce. A summary of the late Married Women's Acts in England and the United States will be found in the Appendix. No one can gain an intelligent comprehension of the rights and disabilities of the marriage union, as they exist to-day, without examining in order, (1) the old common-law or coverture doctrine; (2) the modifica tion of that doctrine by equity and recent legislation; (3) the latest local statute (judicially construed or not) which bears upon the particular point. To facilitate such an examination in due historical sequence is the main object of; the present work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB 2018 SELECTION “One of my favorite parts of summer is deciding what to read when things slow down just a bit, whether it’s on a vacation with family or just a quiet afternoon . . . An American Marriage by Tayari Jones is a moving portrayal of the effects of a wrongful conviction on a young African-American couple.” —Barack Obama “Haunting . . . Beautifully written.” —The New York Times Book Review “Brilliant and heartbreaking . . . Unforgettable.” —USA Today “A tense and timely love story . . . Packed with brave questions about race and class.” —People “Compelling.” —The Washington Post “Epic . . . Transcendent . . . Triumphant.” —Elle Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn’t commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy’s time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy’s conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together. This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward—with hope and pain—into the future.
