M. Le Ridant's Code Matrimonial gathers legal texts on marriage in Old Regime France, a meticulously bound three volume collection in full brown cuir with substantial scholarly value for researchers.
Description from the seller
Beautiful set of three bound volumes of this work by M. Le Ridant, which constitutes a systematic legal compilation of the legislative and regulatory texts governing marriage in the Kingdom of France under the Ancien Régime.
This collection gathers royal edicts, ecclesiastical ordinances, declarations of the King's Council, and judgments of the Parliament related to the validity conditions of marriage, the formalities of publishing bans, the required consents, legal impediments (kinship, age, status), clandestine marriages, the rights of spouses, and the civil and patrimonial effects of the union.
This code, both a reference tool and a mirror of matrimonial norms of the Ancien Régime, testifies to the legal complexity of the marital bond before the revolutionary reforms.
