Schmiegelt, Christian: Die historische Entwicklung der Eheverbote wegen Verwandtschaft und Schwägerschaft vom Reichspersonenstandsgesetz bis zum Eheschlieβungsrechtsgesetz (1875 bis 1998)

We would like to draw attention to a new German monograph that presents an extensive historical-theoretical probe of the problem of marriage impediment bound to kinship, affines, and sexual communion. Although it deals primarily with the development of German lawmaking since the promulgation of the Law on personal status (Reichspersonenstandsgesetz) from the year 1875 up to present reform opinions de lege ferenda, its theoretical scope could be extremely beneficial for all persons interested in marital law solely considering the comparative aspect.
