Excerpt from Commentaire sur le Code Civil du Bas-Canada, Vol. 2: Livre Premier, Titre Cinquième du Mariage
La France qui n'avait pas caché son mauvais vouloir à legard du Concile, et qui n'avait assisté qu'avec jalousie à ses délibérations, tout en admettant sa compétence en matière de dogme, ne prêta jamais qu'une demi obéissance à ses décrets disciplinaires. Ayant échoué dans ses tentatives pour faire invalider, par les Pères du Concile, le mariage des mineurs contracté sans le consentement des parents, elle chercha sans vouloir heurter de front ses décisions, à faire prévaloir, par une législation ambiguë, les idées que ses ambassadeurs avaient soutenues sans succès devant l'anguste assemblée.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book extensively examines the history of the legal and religious view of marriage in Canada. The author specifically analyzes the conflicting views of religious authorities and common law regarding the validity of marriage within various Christian denominations and faiths from the early 17th to the mid-19th century. Drawing heavily on theology, canon law, and common law, the author contrasts the authority of secular courts with that of religious authorities, scrutinizing the arguments and criticisms put forward by both sides. The book provides foundational documentation of how the debate over the authority of the state and the church in marriage, primarily in cases involving the right to dissolve a marriage, were addressed. Written with scholarly rigor, this book will be of interest to students, researchers, and legal professionals in civil and ecclesiastical law and religious studies.
