This thoroughly revised second edition offers a child-centered, international perspective as it urges America to de-stigmatize alternate family forms. In this book's first edition, Philip L. Kilbride showed polygamy as the preferred marriage pattern in most parts of the nonwestern world and explained how plural marriage is surfacing in western countries to address economic and spiritual crises. In Plural Marriage for Our Times: A Reinvented Option? Second Edition, Kilbride and his coauthor, Douglas R. Page, update and enhance this thesis in light of contemporary circumstances, new studies, and current legal debates. This new edition examines plural marriage's benefits for children. It extends the discussion of polygamy and religion, especially the Muslim perspective on marriage and family; considers the illegal polygamy of immigrants; and looks at multiple marriage in African American communities, where "crisis polygamy" is a growing phenomenon. The authors suggest Americans consider plural marriage as a viable practice that can help reduce the divorce rate, better protect women and children, and serve as an alternative to the "fractured family" so prevalent in America today.

We commonly think of marriage as a private matter between two people, a personal expression of love and commitment. In this pioneering history, Nancy F. Cott demonstrates that marriage is and always has been a public institution. From the founding of the United States to the present day, imperatives about the necessity of marriage and its proper form have been deeply embedded in national policy, law, and political rhetoric. Legislators and judges have envisioned and enforced their preferred model of consensual, lifelong monogamy--a model derived from Christian tenets and the English common law that posits the husband as provider and the wife as dependent.In early confrontations with Native Americans, emancipated slaves, Mormon polygamists, and immigrant spouses, through the invention of the New Deal, federal income tax, and welfare programs, the federal government consistently influenced the shape of marriages. And even the immense social and legal changes of the last third of the twentieth century have not unraveled official reliance on marriage as a "pillar of the state." By excluding some kinds of marriages and encouraging others, marital policies have helped to sculpt the nation's citizenry, as well as its moral and social standards, and have directly affected national understandings of gender roles and racial difference. Public Vows is a panoramic view of marriage's political history, revealing the national government's profound role in our most private of choices. No one who reads this book will think of marriage in the same way again.

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Marriage The very rapid sale of the Fiftieth Edition of this little work, and the demands upon our time by the growing increase of our professional practice, preclude us from making any very im portant additions to the present issue. There is however, one point to which, in justice to our selves we must advert. Many patients who have consulted us stated that they would have done so long before, but that having in their anxiety, procured all works within their reach, relating, or supposed to relate, to the evils under which they were sufl'ering, they found such marvel lous cures related in some of them, and such an amount of self-laudation, that, in ignorance of the falsity Of the one or-the groundlessness of the other, they were led, to their own great loss Of both health and money, to consult the authors of those too promising brochures, only to be disappointed and they thereforerecommended us, for the benefit of others who might probably pursue the same course, to say more as to our own success.

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Marriage, in Its Social, Moral, and Physical Relations: With the Physiology of Generation in the Vegetable and Animal Kingdoms The very favourable reception of thr_e_e editions of this work, in a short time, has - induced its author to revise, enlarge, and, he hopes, improve the present impression. The subject considered, is one of universal interest, and was investigated from the most remote period of antiquity to the present time 5 but most particularly from the origin of medicine, as an art or science.\ Considered in all its rela tions, religious, moral, social legal, physical, philosophical, and medical, it will be found of the greatest importance to mankind. This will be manifest to all on the perusal of the introductory remarks, and the succeeding pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Geography of Marriage: Or Legal Perplexities of Wedlock in the United States As well curse the sunlight, and rail at the moon. The views of these extremists are supplemented by writers like Mr. Richard, who seeks in this age, near the dawn of the twentieth century, to bolster up the curse of polygamy, by arguments to prove that it is the form of marriage not only authorized but distinctly sanctioned by the Almighty and the Marquis of Queensberry, who seriously objects to monogamy as a grievous error, and altogether a barbarous institution born of hypocrisy and bigotry.
