Uncontested versus Contested. Divorce Options for Catholic couples 1783–1868. This chapter considers divorce records of Catholic couples living in Lower Austria during the long 19th century, contrasting the legal situation with court practice. With regard to the development of marriage law between the poles of ecclesiastical and secular responsibilities, we outline the divorce options and analyze the strategies employed by wives and husbands. An excursus on the possibilities of divorce in other European territories contextualizes the four subsequent micro-studies. Doctors and craftspeople from sovereign cities and markets as well as farmers from ecclesiastical or aristocratic domains come into view. Finally, in two micro-studies we analyze the consequences of the transfer of the jurisdiction back to ecclesiastical courts from 1856 onwards. A look at the further legal development and a short summary completes the article. |
