It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife’s fight to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband would make. And more than just a fight: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal Status of hnband and Wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always ture. Women seemed perfectly able to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights; and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Mafia Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace". Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position. [br] Could a husband sell his wife’s inheritance?
选项
A、No, under no circumstances.
B、Yes, whenever he wished to.
C、Yes, if she agreed.
D、Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.
答案
C
解析
题目所问是丈夫能否出售妻子所得的遗产,文章第二段Having agreed with her husband Mim to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation.清楚说明了可以卖,但必须征得妻子的同意,故C正确。A、B和D三项均与原文不相符。
