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] Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?
选项
A、The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.
B、The wife was protected from desertion.
C、The wife gained a powerful economic position.
D、The husband was given control over his wife’s property.
答案
D
解析
文章第一段倒数第二句证明了A项所说“在婚姻中丈夫得分享决定权”是正确的,因为妻子和丈夫享有同样的权力;B项所述“妻子受到不被遗弃的保护”这一点可在文章第一段 Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion,…中得到证实;文章最后一句证明了C项的正确性,而D项与文中提及的丈夫只有在得到妻子同意时才可以出售妻子所得遗产的说法相违背,因此D项为本题正确答案。
