Marriages of Orthodox with Old Believers in Bessarabia between 1813-1837

Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 2

Abstract

In the Middle Age and the Modern era, even in the early 19th century, marriage was the institution guided by the canon law. A prerequisite for the recognition of the marriage legitimacy was the religious unity, the difference of believes being an imperious obstacle. In the early nineteenth century in the territory between the Prut and Dniester the family problems were resolved by ecclesiastic authorities and based on local rules of law and tradition. In the article, based on concrete examples of Bessarabia, we will present the reality of the problem of mixed marriages, between Orthodocs and Old believers/Starovery. As sources of research were used documents from the funds of the State Archives of Republic of Moldova.
