Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the illicit sexual relations and how they were viewed by the courts and society in early 19th century Germany. The author draws on the Saxon Constitution of 1823 and legal scholarship to explore the distinctions made between fornication, rape, and other forms of non-marital sexual activity. Specifically, the book examines court cases in Saxony to reveal how the legal system grappled with issues such as defining consent, determining paternity, and providing financial compensation to victims of sexual assault. The study sheds light on the social and legal norms surrounding non-marital sex during a period of significant social and economic change in Germany. The author argues that the legal treatment of these cases reflected broader cultural attitudes toward gender, marriage, and the role of women in society. By examining the legal intricacies of illicit sexual relations, this book offers a nuanced understanding of how the law shaped and was shaped by the social and cultural values of the time.
