It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of marital laws and customs through the ages. The opening of this volume delves into the history of separation and divorce under English and ecclesiastical law, detailing various historical influences on marriage practices. It outlines the early Christian doctrines concerning divorce, the perspectives of early church fathers, and legal transitions through Roman law, highlighting the complexities and evolving notions regarding the indissolubility of marriage.
