Marriage, Property, and Law in Late Imperial Russia
ISBN: 9780198204473 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The first systematic study of civil law in late Imperial Russia, this book shows that efforts to adjust family, property, and inheritance law to changing social and economic conditions often became intertwined with attempts to shape society in accordance with competing ideological ends. Through a restructuring of the family's legal basis, members of the growing professional class endeavored to promote conflicting conceptions of authority, individuality, gender, and law. Legal reform also served for members of the emerging legal and medical professions as a way to establish their authority,...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book is based on the Clarendon Lectures in Law given in October 2005. The book deals with the remarkable change in society's attitude to homosexuality since the 1960's, and the 2005 Civil Partnership Act, which creates a framework in which same-sex couples can have their relationship legally recognised in much the same way as heterosexual marriage. It examines questions such as what are the essentials of the civil partnership relationship? Do civil partnerships really provide for a 'gay marriage', and if not, will they satisfy the demands for equality increasingly being made by the gay...

Common Law Marriage: A Legal Institution for Cohabitation
ISBN: 9780195366815 / Angielski / Twarda / 1246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The extraordinary recent increase in rates of cohabitation and non-marital birth presents a major challenge to traditional family law principles, and the legal rules governing cohabitation are thus among the most hotly contested areas of family law and policy today. In many nations, courts, legislatures, and law-reform bodies are "reinventing" common law marriage, seemingly without any sense of its history, doctrinal development, or limitations. The current law surrounding common law marriage is extremely complex. Professor Goran Lind has undertaken the demanding task of writing the most...

Violence Against Women: Vulnerable Populations

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Violence Against Women: Vulnerable Populations investigates under-researched and underserved groups of women who are particularly vulnerable to violent victimization from an intimate male partner. In the past, there has been an understandable reluctance to address this issue to avoid stereotyping vulnerable groups of women. However, developments in the field, particularly intersectionality theory, which recognizes women's diversity in experiences of violence, suggest that the time has come to make the study of violence in vulnerable populations a new sub-field in the area.

Sexually Transmitted Debt : Surety Experience and English Law
ISBN: 9780198264736 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Sexually Transmitted Debt is the first major study of an increasingly evident social and legal problem: the provision of third party loan security by a spouse/partner for the business debts of the other spouse/partner. Belinda Fehlberg brings a multi-pronged approach to the issue, layering detailed legal analysis with consideration of relevant sociological literature and empirical research. The result is a very readable text in which the gap between the law and practical experience clearly emerges.

Marriage and Divorce in a Multi-Cultural Context: Multi-Tiered Marriage and the Boundaries of Civil Law and Religion
ISBN: 9780521194754 / Angielski / Twarda / 418 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) American family law makes two key assumptions: first, that the civil state possesses sole authority over marriage and divorce; and second, that the civil law may contain only one regulatory regime for such matters. These assumptions run counter to the multicultural and religiously plural nature of our society. They are also wrong. This book elaborates how those assumptions are descriptively incorrect, and it begins an important conversation about whether more pluralism in family law is normatively desirable. For example, may couples rely upon religious tribunals (Jewish, Muslim, or otherwise)...

ISBN: 9780754628705 / Angielski / Twarda / 538 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The continued criminalization of same-sex sexual acts, variously labeled sodomy, buggery, or the crime against nature, is inconsistent throughout the world. The criminalization of other sexual acts, such as public sex, commercial sex, or HIV-transmission, is more common. The relationship between sexuality and criminality is not limited to a direct criminalization of sexual acts, however. The victimization of sexual minorities because of their sexuality has garnered attention in the conceptualization of hate crimes in many countries. When sexual minorities are accused of victimizing others,...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The legal regulation of family forms is a global phenomenon and changes in the 'traditional' family have provoked a variety of legal responses. Same-sex marriage, civil partnerships and other legal avenues to recognize intimate relationships between adults have become a feature of many jurisdictions and a subject for debate in most. Parenting has also become contentious, whether the issue is custody, adoption, or legal recognition of parental status of a non-biological parent. How the law should regulate or protect the sexuality and gender identity of youth is a matter of great concern...
