Notes

Summary: "Tying the Knot is about these intertwined legal, social, and religious histories. It has three interconnecting aims. The first is to analyse how the laws governing how couples can marry have evolved, from the 1836 Act that established the basic foundations of much of the current law to the present day. The second is to assess the evidence as to how couples have actually married over that period. And the third is to evaluate how far the law has enabled them to do so in accordance with their beliefs"-- Provided by publisher
