Marriage was viewed as being very important. Women had very little choice as to who her husband might be. Many couples met for the first time on their wedding day and marriages were arranged so that both families would benefit. Women were expected to bring a dowry and after marriage the wife became the property of the husband. It was legal for boys to marry at 14 and girls at 12 with parental permission. Women were expected to marry, unmarried ladies were viewed as witches.

What legal implications arise from a putative marriage, and how does it differ from a valid marriage in the eyes of the law?

A putative marriage is when a couple believes they are legally married, but there is a legal impediment that invalidates the marriage. In the eyes of the law, a putative marriage may have legal implications for property division, spousal support, and inheritance rights. However, these implications may differ from those of a valid marriage because the putative marriage is not legally recognized. This means that the rights and responsibilities typically associated with a valid marriage may not apply in the case of a putative marriage.
