Marriage and the Irish

Quick overview Following the success of Death and the Irish: a Miscellany (2016), this second volume in the series 'Birth, Marriage and Death among the Irish' explores the institution of marriage in Ireland from the seventh century to the present day. This collection of essays ranges over the centuries, from the concept of marriage in early Irish law to its place in today's society, and provides evidence of the changes that took place in attitudes and practices as marriage evolved to match different social expectations.
