Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marriage and Divorce Legislation in Sweden Among peoples of Teutonic origin marriage was originally a family affair, arranged between the guardian of the woman and her suitor. She herself had no legal power to choose her future husband but had to submit to the judgment of her relatives. The Christian Church, with its conception of marriage as a union based on mutual agreement, vigorously opposed this procedure and succeeded in imposing its ideals on the nations it conquered. In its desire to supervise the private life of its members, the Church gradually gained control of the entire marriage ceremony. At first satisfied to bless the union after the civil marriage had taken place, it soon demanded that the ceremony be performed before the church door and in the presence of the priest; it was, then, only a matter of time until the ceremony was shifted to the church proper. The importance of ecclesiastical control of the marriage became still greater when marriage was made a sacrament. Complete power over the ceremony and its prerequisites was placed in the ecclesiastical authorities, and the Canon Law, which regulated this controlling power, received a recognition as universal as the Church itself. The Canon Law was not entirely uninfluenced by the secular concepts of the countries it came to dominate. The inevitable conflict between it and the Civil Law, in matters affecting both State and Church, left both legal systems changed. The civil law betrothal received a place in the Canon Law, even though it was considered inferior to the ecclesiastical betrothal, which took place immediately before the ceremony and provided no betrothal period. The Church came to regard the civil law betrothal with a great deal of interest because of the very reason that it provided an interval, which facilitated the investigation of the disabilities to marriage.
