What is a marriage bond and how does it play a role in the legal process of getting married?

A marriage bond is a legal document that serves as a financial guarantee that a couple intends to marry. It is typically required as part of the marriage license application process. The bond ensures that the marriage will take place and that there are no legal impediments to the marriage. If the marriage does not occur, the bond may need to be forfeited.


How did the European come to America?

this is for delawareReligious beliefs played heavily in legal thinking of the early colonial period, a period dating from 1607 to the end of the American Revolution (1775-83; a war fought between Great Britain and the American colonies in which the colonies won their independence). The modern American criminal justice system has its roots in the legal concepts carried by early English settlers to the New World. Drawn from the English legal system the colonists knew back home, colonial law evolved substantially through the next three centuries from the time of the first settlements up to the Revolutionary War.

What legal implications arise from a putative marriage, and how does it differ from a valid marriage in the eyes of the law?

A putative marriage is when a couple believes they are legally married, but there is a legal impediment that invalidates the marriage. In the eyes of the law, a putative marriage may have legal implications for property division, spousal support, and inheritance rights. However, these implications may differ from those of a valid marriage because the putative marriage is not legally recognized. This means that the rights and responsibilities typically associated with a valid marriage may not apply in the case of a putative marriage.
