Remarriage after the death of a spouse was acceptable for both men and women and very common, though men remarried faster than women and rural people faster than urban residents. Most issues regarding marriage and many other aspects of family life came under the jurisdiction of church courts and were regulated by an increasingly elaborate legal system termed canon law. The ideals for marriage were not followed in many instances: powerful individuals could often persuade church courts to grant annulments of marriages they needed to end (an annulment is a ruling that there never was a valid marriage in the first place, in contrast to divorce, which ends an existing marriage); men, including priests and other church leaders, had concubines and mistresses; young people had sex before marriage and were forced into marriages they did not want.
Relations with one’s mother’s kin were thus more important than those with one’s father’s kin or even one’s spouse, and children often regarded their mother’s brothers with particular respect. Matrilineal, matrilocal systems allowed for the relatively easy in-marriage of men from other groups, because they could not claim immediate control over their wives’ property. Matrilineal inheritance systems and bridewealth made some family relationships stronger, but they also created tensions. Brideservice could lead to resentment.
As men plowed (literally) more resources into their land, they set up inheritance systems to pass land and other goods on to the next generation. In patrilineal systems, property went to their own Introduction 19 children, so men were motivated to increase their surveillance of women’s sexual activities. (How much of men’s desire to control women’s sexuality in a patrilineal system is “biological” and how much is cultural is hotly disputed. ) Men generally carried out the plowing and care for animals, which led to boys being favored over girls for the work they could do for their parents while young and the support they could provide in their parents’ old age; boys became the normal inheritors of family land and the rights to work communally held land.
