Marriage Impediments as Presented in Glagolitic Registry Books and Other Documents from the Zadar Area (1565 – mid-19th Century)
Grozdana Franov-Živković
Sažetak
The article focuses on marriage impediments as identified in marriage registry books, as well as other registry books containing data on weddings, or secondary documents required in order to perform the act and achieve the ratification of marriage, preserved at the parish archives. Special marriage licences thus concerned the following cases: blood relations, spiritual relations and relations-in-law, legal relations, concubinate before marriage, marriage of widows and widowers, marriage of persons of different confessions, marriage of minors, marriage between persons from different dioceses, liberation from the “three mandates”, and permits to perform the wedding in the bridegroom’s parish. The article analyses the frequency of impediments as attested in various parts of the Zadar area: the islands, the littoral, and the hinterland. In the Zadar area, a considerable number of Glagolitic registry books have been preserved from the period between the Council of Trent (1565) and 1825, the year in which tabulatory registry books were introduced. The article focuses on 102 Glagolitic registry books from the 240 that have been found in the Zadar area, as well as a number of secondary documents mentioning various marriage impediments and the position of women in the society, especially in Zadar’s hinterland and the littoral, as well as on the islands.
