Book Synopsis Marriage Contracts from Chaucer to the Renaissance Stage by : Kathryn Elisabeth Jacobs
Download or read book Marriage Contracts from Chaucer to the Renaissance Stage written by Kathryn Elisabeth Jacobs and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fine historic exploration of why marriage treatments in literary texts are transformed between the 14th and 16th centuries. . . . This volume has the power and evidence--both historic and textual--to revamp our understanding of crucial texts. . . . I will never read Chaucerian texts of wives and widows the same again!"--Jean E. Jost, Bradley University "An extremely readable study of literary responses to changing marriage law, including an in-depth study of Chaucer and a wide-ranging examination of Renaissance dramatists."--Emily A. Detmer, Millikin University From the 14th century to the middle of the 17th, changes in marriage law affected literary depictions of marriage in marked ways, according to Kathryn Jacobs's astute interdisciplinary treatment of nuptial contracts. She relates the changes in marriage law and also the enforcement policies of church courts to the changing literary treatment of marriage in Chaucer's work, in medieval mystery plays, and in the Renaissance plays of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. When Chaucer was writing his Canterbury Tales, Jacobs argues, the marriage contract was well known to his audience. He could therefore count on them to recognize the parallels he draws between this familiar contract and the extramarital or postmarital "contracts" he designed. The mystery plays, meanwhile, were popular precisely because they violated the marriage contract as it was commonly known. By the Renaissance, however, church law had changed drastically, and the drama reflected public resentment and confusion about the new policies. One of the unexpected results of this was the birth of the "lusty widow" as a stage fantasy figure. Focusing first on Chaucer and then on drama, Jacobs offers a bridge between the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, showing how the lives of everyday people in each age were affected by the handling of marriage law in the ecclesiastical courts. Kathryn Jacobs, associate professor of literature and languages at Texas A&M University in Commerce, Texas, is the author of articles in such journals as Chaucer Review and Mediaevalia.
Book Synopsis Marital Agreements by : Linda J. Ravdin
Download or read book Marital Agreements written by Linda J. Ravdin and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... describes and analyzes three types of agreements: premarital agreements, postmarital agreements, and domestic partnership agreements. A premarital agreement is a contract between prospective spouses, including same-sex couples, made in contemplation of marriage. A postmarital agreement is a contract executed by parties to an ongoing marriage and not incident to a divorce or marital separation. A domestic partnership agreement, sometimes known as a cohabitation agreement, is a contract executed by a couple whose domestic arrangements may not be state-sanctioned. However, the term also includes such an agreement executed incident to a civil union or registered domestic partnership. Generally, all of these agreements are used to define the property and support rights of the parties upon termination of the marriage or other relationship by death or dissolution. Some parties also opt to include financial obligations during the marriage or other relationship. This Portfolio does not cover separation agreements that settle property rights, spousal and child support obligations, and child custody matters incident to a separation or divorce"--Portfolio description.
Book Synopsis The Islamic Marriage Contract by : Asifa Quraishi
Download or read book The Islamic Marriage Contract written by Asifa Quraishi and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said that marriage in Islamic law is a civil contract, not a sacrament. If this is so, this means that the marriage contract is largely governed by the same rules as other contracts, such as sale or hire. But at the same time marriage is a profound concern of the Islamic scriptures of Qur’an and Sunna, and thus at the very core of the law and morality of Islam and of the individual, familial, and social life of Muslims. This volume collects papers from many disciplines examining the Muslim marriage contract. Articles cover doctrines as to marriage contracts (e.g., may a wife stipulate monogamy?); historical instances (e.g., legal advice from thirteenth-century Spain); comparisons with Jewish and canon law; contemporary legal and social practice; and projects of activists for women worldwide. Demonstrating a new and powerful focus for comparative and historical inquiries into Islamic law and social practices, this book marks a fresh point of departure for the study of Muslim women.

Cloth. $85. * A cogent and compelling examination of the history and significance of the Jewish marriage contract, the Ketubah, with extensive notes in Hebrew and English. As Epstein notes in the preface, the Ketubah offers an excellent introduction to the character of Jewish marriage because it is not a sentimental, rhetorical or subjective text.

This work will interest those concerned with property rights, family, divorce, and the evolution of betrothal and marriage.

Book Synopsis The Sexual Contract by : Carole Pateman
Download or read book The Sexual Contract written by Carole Pateman and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkably original work of political philosophy, one of today's foremost feminist theorist challenges the way contemporary society functions by questioning the standard interpretation of an idea that is deeply embedded in American and British political thought: that our rights and freedoms derive from the social contract explicated by Locke, Hobbes, and Rousseau and interpreted in the United States by the Founding Fathers. The author shows how we are told only half the story of the original contract that establishes modern patriarchy. The sexual contract is ignored and thus men's patriarchal right over women is also glossed over. No attention is paid to the problems that arise when women are excluded from the original contract but incorporated into the new contractual order. One of the main targets of the book is those who try to turn contractarian theory to progressive use, and a major thesis of the book is that this is not possible. Thus those feminists who have looked to a more "proper" contract- one between genuinely equal partners, or one entered into without any coercion- are misleading themselves. In the author's words, "In contract theory universal freedom is always a hypothesis, a story, a political fiction. Contract always generates political right in the forms of domination and subordination." Thus the book is also aimed at mainstream political theorists, and socialist and other critics of contract theory. The author offers a sweeping challenge to conventional understandings- of both left and right- of actual contracts in everyday life: the marriage contract, the employment contract, the prostitution contract, and the new surrogate mother contract. By bringing a feminist perspective to bear on the contradictions and paradoxes surrounding women and contract, and the relation between the sexes, she is able to shed new light on fundamental political problems of freedom and subordination.
