Summary: "Plaidoyer de M. Freydier contre l'introduction des cadenas et ceintures de chasteté" is a historical legal text written in the 18th century. This work presents a passionate argument against the barbaric practice of using chastity belts and sexual constraints, focusing on an infamous case of a young woman, Marie Lajon, whose lover imposed such a device upon her. The text critiques the underlying jealousy and possessiveness that motivate such practices, emphasizing the need for genuine love and trust instead of physical restraints. The opening of the work introduces the central conflict surrounding the case of the demoiselle Lajon, detailing how she was seduced by her lover, the sieur Berlhe, who not only deceived her but also brutally forced her into a chastity belt before leaving for a journey. Freydier, acting on behalf of Lajon, sets the stage by recounting her plight, portraying her as a victim of both seduction and extreme measures of control imposed by a jealous man. He argues against the concept of physical restraints, advocating for the values of virtue and integrity instead of shameful and violent tactics to secure fidelity. The text serves as a critique of societal attitudes towards women and sexuality, positioning itself firmly against the inhumane practices rooted in jealousy and control.
