This collection of influential and cutting-edge essays traces the debates about the content of marital rights and responsibilities and whether law should reach beyond marriage, and if so how. The articles are based on examples from the European Court of Human Rights, UK, USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa, and highlight the complexity and contradictions of marital law as it grapples with gender equality, the aftermath of recognizing gay and lesbian rights, abiding economic inequalities, and ’exotic’ issues such as forced marriage and polygamy.
