The reasons for this unique development have occupied ethnologists, sociologists and historians for quite some time. This book is the first to trace the radical expansion of marriage prohibitions across epochs and advances the thesis that this development came about as a result of the decline of power in Antiquity and the changing functions of legislation SN - 9783110210682 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/74662 LA - German N1 - German ID - 1794575456 ER -
