The law has been developed in a piecemeal 0:02:28.879,0:02:32.160 way, to these current laws. Obviously they're extremely complicated, but 0:01:40.960,0:01:45.020 which now means that we've ended up 0:02:32.160,0:02:36.480 essentially with five different marriage laws, are there any more specific objections? [Stephen Evans] Well, as Megan has 0:01:45.020,0:01:48.000 depending on whether the wedding is a 0:02:36.480,0:02:38.879 just explained, 0:01:48.000,0:01:51.520 because of the way the laws developed Church of England wedding, a Jewish wedding, a Quaker wedding, 0:02:38.879,0:02:43.280 over time, we have an 0:01:51.560,0:01:55.320 overly complex maze of different rules any other type of religious wedding, or a civil marriage. 0:02:43.280,0:02:46.480 for different types of ceremonies. 0:01:55.320,0:01:59.040 Both the Church and the State have So different laws apply depending on, 0:02:46.480,0:02:50.239 0:01:59.040,0:02:03.439 actually played key roles at different essentially, the religious ethos, or be it times in the history and the evolution no religious ethos at all, 0:02:50.239,0:02:53.599 0:02:03.439,0:02:08.479 of the institution of marriage. And so of the wedding itself. And the other strange quirk about the law in England 0:02:53.599,0:02:57.120 all the time you've got these parallel be held in a registered place of worship, strands going on, of the secular and the civil marriages must take place in 0:02:57.120,0:02:59.700 0:03:39.040,0:03:42.400 religious side of marriage, and that approved premises only. clearly hasn't gone away. So couples can't hold their weddings at 0:02:59.700,0:03:01.680 0:03:42.400,0:03:46.080 So at the moment home or outdoors. there are two routes to marriage, As Megan said, exceptions exist for 0:03:01.680,0:03:04.080 0:03:46.080,0:03:49.680 religious and civil. Jewish and Quaker marriages, So religion and state are very which can take place anywhere, but 0:03:04.080,0:03:07.200 0:03:49.680,0:03:53.040 much entwined in our marriage laws. humanists don't have their ceremonies And I think that's sets legally recognized 0:03:07.200,0:03:12.560 0:03:53.040,0:03:56.319 quite an unnecessary complex and and religious content is banned from restrictive system, that's also unfair. civil ceremonies, which means that 0:03:12.560,0:03:17.599 0:03:56.320,0:04:01.620 The law, as things stand, inter-religious ceremonies aren't really leads to unequal treatment of catered for, and couples just don't have the freedom 0:03:17.600,0:03:20.500 people, depending on their religious 0:04:01.620,0:04:05.260 outlook or beliefs. they may want. So really the whole thing's a bit of a mess. 0:03:20.500,0:03:24.959 And the recent High Court case 0:04:05.260,0:04:07.519 brought by six humanist couples, actually [EP] Sure, and it seems very unfair to people who don't 0:03:24.959,0:03:28.400 recognized, the Court recognized the 0:04:07.519,0:04:12.159 discriminatory nature have a religious affiliation in particular. [SE] Yeah. And on top of that, 0:03:28.400,0:03:32.239 of the law in terms of humanist weddings 0:04:12.159,0:04:16.400 not being permitted. the complexity of the legal status of religious weddings has also contributed 0:03:32.239,0:03:35.920 So, as Megan touched upon, under the 0:04:16.400,0:04:20.320 current laws religious marriages have to to a rise in couples who have religious marriages which they 0:03:35.920,0:03:39.040 0:04:20.320,0:04:23.520 0:05:04.479,0:05:06.880 may believe to be legally binding, it stands at the moment, like an Anglican wedding would be, doesn't allow for it. 0:04:23.520,0:04:27.840 0:05:06.880,0:05:10.000 but in fact aren't legally binding. Much of our existing wedding law And this is a particular problem amongst dates back to 1836, 0:04:27.840,0:04:31.440 0:05:10.000,0:05:13.360 some Muslim communities, and, I think it's fair to say, that what where many marriages have absolutely no may have worked in the 18th 0:04:31.440,0:04:34.000 0:05:13.360,0:05:17.120 legal basis, which can leave women and 19th centuries doesn't work now. vulnerable. So reforms really are 0:04:34.000,0:04:37.759 0:05:17.120,0:05:21.520 And I'm sure we'll draw down into that quite urgently needed. later. So basically there is a need to [EP] Okay. So that's England and Wales specifically. 0:04:37.759,0:04:42.160 secularize and simplify 0:05:21.520,0:05:23.680 the archaic laws that we have, which How does that compare with the law in 0:04:42.160,0:04:46.080 0:05:23.680,0:05:28.680 really aren't fit for purpose. Scotland at the moment? And, as the Law Commission has rightly [MM] So the the law in Scotland is a bit better.

  • Worthing Museums Quaker Wedding Bonnet 1843
    1 A Celebration of Plainness: Worthing Museum’s Quaker Wedding Bonnet, 1843 Hannah Rumball Quaker Bonnet (Ref: 1961/491) made of beige silk satin, belonging to Eliza Westwood (née Nickalls) and worn for the occasion of her marriage, 1843. Photograph by the author. This beige silk-satin wedding bonnet was worn by the Quaker Eliza Westwood (née Nickalls), for the occasion of her marriage in 1843 in Reigate, Surrey at the age of twenty two.1 Her spouse, Thomas Edward, was a linen draper and non-Quaker, and the pair married at Reigate Parish Church. This was despite marriage between Quakers and non-Quakers being in contravention of the religion’s guidance during this time. Worthing Museum records indicate that despite apparent problems conceiving early in her marriage, Westwood went on to have seventeen children. Her bonnet features a deep brim stiffened with card and a matching bavolet (a fabric curtain or trim), which covers the nape of the neck. The crown is gathered with beige twisted silk 1 Genealogical research using census records has identified 1843 as the date of Eliza Westwood’s marriage, however the museum records differ in date, listing 1840. 2 cord and stiffened with a cloth known as buckram. Pale grey Petersham silk ribbons hang from the brim. These have become detached, a common occurrence for bonnets of this age which were well used. The exceptional quality of the outer cloth is apparent in the fine weave of the textile and the lack of decay despite the object being nearly one hundred and eighty years old.

  • Sephardic Merchants in Livorno and the Mediterranean, 17Th and 18Th
    Francesca Trivellato Yale University [email protected] Family Structure and Business Organization: Sephardic Merchants in Livorno and the Mediterranean, 17 th and 18 th Centuries Utrecht University, ESG Seminar 25 October 2007 A version of this paper will appear as Chapter 5 in my The Familiarity of Strangers: The Sephardic Diaspora, Livorno, and Cross-Cultural Trade in the Early Modern Period (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, forthcoming in 2008). Please do not cite or circulate without permission. Draft – Not for circulation without permission Chapter 5 Kinship Structures and Business Organization The characteristics of long-distance trade in the early modern Mediterranean that we examined in the previous chapter go a long way towards explaining the active presence of Jewish merchants in certain branches of the exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. With the exception of the English Levant Company (1581-1825), few European chartered and monopolistic companies operated in the Mediterranean until the French Compagnie Royale d’Afrique was created (1741-93), and even this Compagnie only controlled exchanges with North Africa rather the entire French commerce in the Mediterranean. 1 The world of Mediterranean trade was populated by countless private partnerships (most, but not all, formed by merchants of the same religious or national group). This was the case of the Radcliffe of London, an English firm with a branch in Aleppo from the 1730s to the 1760s, as well as a myriad of French partnerships with a principal investor ( majeur ) in Marseille and a subsidiary branch in the Ottoman Empire, which was usually run by a younger relative ( régisseur ).

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

OVERVIEW: MARRIAGE & UNION OF COMMITMENT UNDER THE CARE OF FRIENDS MEETING OF WASHINGTON Our clearness process for marriage or commitment reflects our essential belief about the way in which Friends test the religious call of two persons into a lifelong relationship, as well as our belief about the meaning of spiritual commitment within a faith community. Early Friends were clear that marriage was essentially a religious covenant. They saw this as quite different from marriage as a legal or social relationship; when a choice was necessary, they chose to have their marriages considered illegal rather than modify their religious witness.... So early Friends held the witness that no person had the legal (magistrate) or spiritual (priest) authority to "pronounce" two people married. Marriage was accomplished when a meeting witnessed two people exchanging vows, confirming a call to lifelong commitment. However, the call to commitment is not limited to two individuals. It involves the meeting as well, since the couple's spiritual leading occurs in the context of a faith community, and is tested in that community as any other leading would be.

  • SPECIAL OCCASIONS I. Marriages
    SPECIAL OCCASIONS I. Marriages Friends Understanding of Marriage and Family Life We earnestly advise and encourage Friends to wait upon the Lord for counsel and guidance before starting any procedure for marriage, for it is a union not to be undertaken lightly. True happiness and joy in marriage depend first on the presence of devoted love, a love which is not merely of a passing attraction, but which includes a genuine respect for the individuality, personality, and spirituality of the other. Marriage is a religious commitment by two people before God to be undertaken in God’s Light and with reverent attention to God’s counsel and guidance. Of utmost importance is a spiritual union where there is a mutual desire to open heart and home to the Spirit of God. Friends regard marriage as a continuing religious commitment and more than a simple contract. A well­founded marriage is a source of strength, security, and joy, not only to the couple and their families, but also to the meeting and community, and to all with whom they share their lives. Parents should be concerned to provide such an atmosphere of loving care that all in the family are encouraged to grow in religious faith and practice. We counsel all family members to seek to live in such a spirit of openness and humility among themselves that barriers may not arise to good communication and to growth in love. Great care needs to be exercised that the union be established and continued on the foundation of true love and respect.
