Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXV. The United States Of America. The United States as such, that is, in its Federal capacity, has no single system of marriage and divorce laws applicable to all the States and Territories. The purpose of the Constitution of the United States is to maintain by its federal structure a strong national government, while recognizing each of the States which make up the federation to be so far as is consistent with the motive of the Union, sovereign commonwealth. When one considers this wonderful federation of States and Territories, with nearly half a hundred separate governments each making and interpreting its domestic laws, and yet all parts of, and working in harmony with, the central or Federal Government, the justice of Gladstone's tribute to the American Constitution as "the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man" is apparent. The laws of marriage and divorce in the various States and Territories cannot therefore be ascertained from a single legislative or judicial source. The law of the several jurisdictions consists not only of legislative enactments, but of judicial construction and interpretation of such legislation. Fortunately the tendency is toward uniformity of legislation among the States, especially on the important subject of marriage and divorce, and such differences as exist are pointed out substantially in this chapter when each State or Territory is considered separately. The Congress, or national legislature, has power to legislate only upon such subjects as the Federal Constitution marks out for it, and all powers not granted to the Federal government remain with the several States. The regulation of marriage and divorce is one of the most important domestic...

Download or read book Defense of Marriage written by James Perkins and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary world has become so unravelled that the Congress of the United States, with nothing better to do, has felt the necessity of passing a Defense of Marriage Act. We are all being treated to daily media coverage of the same-sex marriages and programming which would make the devil blush. We are being told that the weird is just fine. Will the children of the man-women unions see this deviation as normal? Some critics blame society's depravation on the legions of spent politicians wreaking havoc on the country and perhaps they are not wrong. But maybe, just maybe, society in the main has had enough and is at last fighting back against the forces tying to intimidate it. This book looks at laws and actions being taken at the federal level to right a ship gone very wrong.

Download or read book Beyond Straight and Gay Marriage written by Nancy D. Polikoff and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over marriage equality for same-sex couples rages across the country. Beyond (Straight and Gay) Marriage boldly moves the discussion forward by focusing on the larger, more fundamental issue of marriage and the law. The root problem, asserts law professor and LGBT rights activist Nancy Polikoff, is that marriage is a bright dividing line between those relationships that legally matter and those that don't. A woman married to a man for nine months is entitled to Social Security survivor's benefits when he dies; a woman living for nineteen years with a man or woman to whom she is not married receives nothing. Polikoff reframes the debate by arguing that all family relationships and households need the economic stability and emotional peace of mind that now extend only to married couples. Unmarried couples of any sexual orientation, single-parent households, extended family units, and myriad other familial configurations need recognition and protection to meet the concerns they all share: building and sustaining economic and emotional interdependence, and nurturing the next generation. Couples should have the choice to marry based on the spiritual, cultural, or religious meaning of marriage in their lives, asserts Polikoff. While marriage equality for same-sex couples is a civil rights victory, she contends that no one should have to marry in order to reap specific and unique legal results. A persuasive argument that married couples should not receive special rights denied to other families, Polikoff shows how the law can value all families, and why it must.

Excerpt: ... chapter xii of second marriages Can. 1142. Licet casta viduitas honorabilior sit, secundae tamen et ulteriores nuptiae validae et licitae sunt, firmo praescripto can. 1069, 2. 336. Although a chaste widowhood be more honorable, second and further marriages are valid and lawful, the prescriptions of can. 1069, 2, being observed. Can. 1143. Mulier cui semel benedictio sollemnis data sit, nequit in subsequentibus nuptiis eam iterum accipere. A.woman who has once received the solemn blessing can not receive it again in subsequent marriages. 337. 1. The teaching of the Church in regard to second marriages has always been the same as that of St. Paul, who exhorts widows to remain unmarried, without imposing it as an obligation, rather advising marriage when the single life might be too dangerous. (Rom. vii, 2, 3; 1 Cor. vii, 39, 40; 1 Tim. v, 14; cf. Hernias, lib. ii, Mand. iv, n. 4; Tertullian, Ad uxorem, ii, 1.) The Montanists and Novatians, who absolutely forbade second marriages, were condemned. (Nice, c. 8.) Those marriages, however, were looked upon with a disfavor, which was expressed by some ecclesiastical writers in such strong terms that at times they seem to amount to a formal condemnation. (Perrone, De Matrimonio Christiano, vol. iii, p. 73; Chardon, Histoire des Sacrements, Du Mariage, c. iv, art. 1; Martene, De antiquis Ecclesise ritibus, lib. i, c. ix, art 1.) In the Greek Church, from the beginning of the fourth century, second marriages were subjected to various penances. (Neocsesarea, 314, c. 3, 7; Ancyra, 358, c. 19; Laodicea, 380 ? c. 1; St. Basil, ad Amphilochium.) Third and fourth marriages were treated still more severely until they were condemned as unlawful or even as invalid except under certain...
