Abstract

Daniel Kaiser offers a temporally and thematically extensive panorama of the churchly and worldly creation of laws on parental consent for marriage. It spans antiquity to the present and includes large portions of the central European region. The author intentionally ignores legal practices and judgments. The study provides an interpretation of the plurality of legal texts utilizing contemporary literature and brings these together with current research conclusions on the rights of parental marriage control.
