This book explores this phenomenon to understand wider attitudes towards marriage-making in the fifteenth-century Low Countries. Whilst exchanging words of consent was all that was required legally, making marriage was a social process that evoked public concern and familial scrutiny. Abductions embodied contrasting evaluations of what mattered when selecting a spouse and resulted in polarized trials in which narratives on consent, coercion, and family strategy coincided and competed. Abduction, Marriage, and Consent draws from a wide range of legal records to assess how men, women, families, and authorities used, navigated, and dealt with abductions during this period. It contributes to debates on consent, family involvement, and women's access to justice and demonstrates that abduction should be approached as a comprehensive social phenomenon, one that is crucial in the history of marriage and women's social and legal status. 410 0$aGendering the late medieval and early modern world 606 $aAbduction$zBenelux countries$xHistory$y15th century 606 $aMarriage$zBenelux countries$xHistory$y15th century 606 $aSexual consent$zBenelux countries$xHistory$y15th century 606 $aWomen$zBenelux countries$xSocial conditions$xHistory$y15th century 606 $aWomen$zBenelux countries$xSocial conditions$y15th century 606 $aHISTORY / Medieval$2bisacsh 615 0$aAbduction$xHistory 615 0$aMarriage$xHistory 615 0$aSexual consent$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 7$aHISTORY / Medieval. 676 $a306.8109492 700 $aDelameillieure$b Chanelle$f1992-$01739308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910855401103321 996 $aAbduction, Marriage, and Consent in the Late Medieval Low Countries$94163280 997 $aUNINA
