Informal Marriages in Early Modern Venice (Routledge Research in Gender and History)

Conditions of the marriage market, the sexual culture of Venice, and family needs created social tensions. This book explores a family model that soothed these tensions. Long-term, stable, non-marital relationships were common, and the community regularly accepted concubinaries, concubinal relationships, and the offspring concubinage produced.
