Het nieuw samengesteld gezin: recht en geschiedenis
Het nieuw samengesteld gezin is een actueel, maar ook een historisch verschijnsel. In de loop van de geschiedenis werden tal van regels uitgevaardigd die zich tot doel stelden de verhoudingen binnen deze gezinnen te regelen. Ouders die weduwe of weduwnaar werden, gingen nieuwe huwelijken aan, vaak met partners die zelf kinderen hadden uit een eerder huwelijk. Tussen de belangen van alle betrokkenen diende een evenwicht te worden gevonden, voornamelijk met betrekking tot de nalatenschap van de eerst overleden ouder. In navolging van opeenvolgende maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen is het hedendaagse recht op dat punt in evolutie: wegens de hoge echtscheidingscijfers zijn er steeds meer nieuw sam...
Stepfamilies in Europe, 1400-1800
Stepfamilies were as common in the European past as they are today. Stepfamilies in Europe, 1400–1800 is the first in-depth study to chart four centuries of continuity and change for these complex families created by the death of a parent and the remarriage of the survivor. With geographic coverage from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia and from the Atlantic coast to Central Europe, this collection of essays from leading scholars compares how religious affiliation, laws and cultural attitudes shaped stepfamily realities. Exploring stepfamilies across society from artisans to princely rulers, this book considers the impact of remarriage on the bonds between parents and their children, steppa...
The Impact of World War I on Marriages, Divorces, and Gender Relations in Europe
How did WWI affect the love lives of ordinary citizens and their interactions as couples? This book focuses on how dramatic changes in living conditions affected key parts of the life course of ordinary citizens: marriage and divorce. Innovative in bringing together demographic and gender perspectives, contributions in this comparative volume draw on newly available micro-level data, as well as qualitative sources such as war diaries. In a first exploration intended to incite further research, it asks how patterns of marriage and divorce were affected by the war across Europe, and what the role of enduring change - or lack thereof - in gender relations was in shaping these patterns.
