Moral Legal Traits of Marriage among Peasants in Pre Revolutionary Russia
Abstract
The article considers the essence of a peasants’ marriage as complete communication (including such elements as natural, moral, economic, legal and religious) between a man and a woman, where the unifying principle is not kinship, but common labor.The author discloses such conditions of marriage as the age of persons entering into marriage and agreement conducted through nonresistance. Legal consequences of non-observance of the indicated conditions are considered. A characteristic is given of the refusal to marry as a legal fact, as well as the legal consequences of such a refusal. Moral and legal peculiarities of the decision of marriage are considered. Special attention is given to the abduction of the bride, which was preserved in separate localities as a signs of former orders. The importance of the approval of marriage from parents, the church and society is determined.The personal and property rights and the duties of spouses are considered. The cases of these rights and duties for the most part are taken up by the township courts, while the state courts usually avoid their consideration. The presentation of these issues is accompanied by examples and references to specific decisions of township courts. The social effectiveness of such decisions is justified.
