Socio-economic consequences of the dissolution of marriage due to the exile of one of the spouses with the deprivation of all rights of the state in the second half of the XIX – early XX century
Abstract
The article examines the peculiarities of divorce proceedings based on one of the legislatively permitted grounds, the exile of a spouse to hard labor or settlement with deprivation of all rights, in three provincial provinces - Tver, Tobolsk, and Yaroslavl. An analysis of the funds of the ecclesiastical consistory was conducted, and divorce cases based on the specified motive were identified. Using petitions from representatives of different estates and social statuses, formal aspects and main stages of divorce proceedings were studied, and common mistakes in submitting a "set of documents" were identified. The article also examines the timeframes for considering cases that were resolved positively (divorce) or negatively (denial of divorce). The article concludes with main findings on the similarity of reasons for denial (errors in document submission and the retention of rights by the exiled spouse due to the administrative nature of the verdict) and the timeframes for divorce. Getting a divorce from an exiled spouse in the second half of the 19th to early 20th century was relatively simple; it required complying with all conditions specified in regulatory documents. It is noted that in a patriarchal society, the significance of divorce is also reflected in an economic way. It is shown that the loss of rights and exile affect the aspect of a decrease in social status and a decrease in rank forms of social interaction. It is reflected that the economic aspect of the dissolution of marriage can affect not only the actual issues of financial components, but also the subsequent.
