ANCIENT MARRIAGE LAWS.
There are many curious featur
about the laws of marriage as admin
istered under our early Anglo.Saxon
and Danish kings, trews of which hay
survived in our existing jurisprudence
By the Anglo-Saxon laws, every worn
an was under the care of some ma
who was teemed her mundbora, or guar
dian; and no one could marry her with
out bavieg first paid o sum of mune
as a compensation to her muudbora.
The father, of course, was Lbe guard'
an aC his unmarried daughters; th
brother if the father died; and next t
him the nearest male relative; it, how-
ever, too female were friendless and
alone, Inc found in Lee king her legal
gee/ether. '].'.hero were no runawayay
matches, no clandestine and romantic
nupeires among the Saxon people; they
did sre.rythnig, even to titer very love
affairs. in t plain, matter -of -foot way:
they estimated the value of the maid
na.•wrding to her rank in lite, and the
law fixed the suns tvhlce should tbere-
garded.
as a legal Leader to satisfy the
avarice of her.guard,ans, 'Inc Lcrst step
in courtship, tneretore, Ivey to Lam the
censent of the mntidoote; , he, over was
then admitted into the society of his
ladylove, and allowed to claim her in
due course as his wife. 1f, however, her
personal charms or her disposition prov-
ed, on better acquaintance, unsatisfact-
ory to her suitor and he failed to com-
ptate his bargain, he became immedi-
eetly amenable le the mw.
If a man ventured to marry without
first having bought aid paid for his
wife, he was amity of the crime of
mumd-breach; the consequences of which
were both disastrous and vexatious. The
husband, in such a case, possessed no
legal authority over his spouse; he was
a usband, in fact, without a wife; he
hard no right to her property; be could
recover no compensation for any in-
sult wlaioh another masa should dare to
otter her—she had not been paid for—
the guardian had. received no considera-
tion; and all ide damages or Lines in-
flicted for such am insult were payable
to the woman's musadlbora.
If a man wished to take Ms wife into
a foreign art, or into another thane's
land, Ime hod to enter into a compact
with her guardian that no wrong should
be done to her, but that she should re-
ceive every mark of attention and kind-
ness. if a man boc;gtht a maid and paid
for Iver, no other could negoleete for
her purchase; but if any fraud had been
committed an her part, or on the part
of her friends, she was returned home,
and the man demanded back his money.
13y the Saxon law, a maiden and a
widow were of separate value; the lat-
ter could be. purchased for one-half the
sum which the guardian of a maid was
entitled to demand; a man, therefore,
who could not afford to purchase a
maid, might perhaps be able to pur-
chase a widow. The laws relating to
the marriage of widows seam to dis-
eountenanco second nuptials. The wide
ow was compelled, by a law of Canute's
to continue husbandless Lor twelve
months at least; if she married. within
that time, she forfeited all her mar-
riage gifts, and all the property which
she acquired by her first marriage was
claimed by her nearest kinsman; Henry
I1. confirmed this decorous law.
