Synopsis

This book examines the nature of marriage conditions, such as requirements for consent, that were popular in English wills of the 18th and 19th centuries. The author critiques these conditions as potentially unfair and as a dangerous overreach of authority by the person setting the condition. The author explores historical cases, beginning with Harvey v. Aston and including Yelverton v. Yelverton, Bellasis v. Ermine, Jervoise v. Duke, Earl of Salisbury v. Bennett, Garrett v. Pretty, Mesgrett v. Mesgrett, Semphill v. Hayley, Peyton v. Bury, Underwood v. Morris, Daley v. Desouverie, Reynish v. Martin, Wheeler v. Bingham, Long v. Dennis, Dashwood v. Lord Bulkley, Scott v. Tyler, Stackpole v. Beaumont, and Burleton v. Humphrey. In each case, the author reviews the specific requirements of the marriage condition and the court's rationale for enforcing or setting aside the condition. In doing so, the author reveals the evolution of the law regarding marriage conditions and the increasing willingness of courts to protect the rights of those seeking to marry.
