Excerpt: ... Law of Parent and Child among the Romans. The bride received from the betrothed a ring as a pledge of fidelity.1 (5) The husbands had the right of divorcing their wives without any trial. If the divorce took place between the betrothal and the marriage (as it sometimes did), it was called repudiation. If it took place after the second form of marriage, it was called remancipation. If it took place after the first (most formal) mode of marriage, particular solemnities were required to constitute divorce.2 (6) The consent of parents was required to the marriage.3 For, by the Roman law, the father has absolute power over his children. (7) The wife, by marriage, became a partner in her husband''s effects. She resigned to him all her property, and he was bound to support her. (8) At the death of her husband, she inherited his fortune, if he died intestate; but if he had children, she inherited equally with them.4 (9) Upon her entrance to the house, the keys were delivered to her, denoting that to her was intrusted the management of the family.5 A sheep skin was spread before her, intimating that she was to work at the spinning of wool. 2.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Condition of the Pagan Nations around the Hebrews. the dispensation of early ages that which the light of Christianity alone could give. The Hebrew system itself improved, in respect to its legal condition, from the days of Abraham to those of the last Prophets. Some of its customs descended from the primitive patriarchs; most of its laws were given through Moses, and some were changed in after ages. The body of those, however, which denote the state of Hebrew society, are found in the books of Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy. They are those which were declared by an inspired prophet of the Lord; and, compared by any standard of morals, laws, or society extant among other nations, were far beyond what any human lawgiver had then discovered. The civilization of the entire world was then rude, and the marks of that comparative barbarism, as judged by the Christian standard, may be found even in the social state of the Hebrews. It is exhibited, in a most marked degree, in the condition of women, who were not exempt, even in the righteous families of patriarch fathers, from the hard and degrading laws of polygamy; and who, in respect to property and legal rights, were little removed from slaves. This, however, was the universal state of society at that time; and, with the exception of the few Christians who have let in some scattered rays of light on oriental manners, has been the moral and legal state of Asiatic nations through all ages of the world. In our later day, (approaching, as we may reasonably hope, the " fulness of time," when the dispensation of Christianity shall have made its complete progress through the world,) Condition of the Pagan Nations around the Hebrews. the conquest of India, the removal of commercial interdiction from China, and the co Books, History~~General, Legal-Rights-Liabilities-And-Duties-Of-Women~~Edward-Deering-Mansfield, 999999999, Legal Rights, Liabilities And Duties Of Women, Edward Deering Mansfield, 021701223X, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
