Abstract:
Through a series of case studies drawn from court records, this work shows how courting and marrying couples before the 1753 Marriage Act manoeuvred around the ambiguities of the law. There are stories of unwise courtship, prenuptial pregnancies, forced marriages, bigamy and clandestine marriages.
