If a man denied that he had promised marriage to the woman before she 'yielded to his embraces' or 'granted him all the privileges of a husband' (the two phrases most commonly used in the records), she could raise a legal action for declarator of marriage and bring evidence that she was his lawful wife. Before bringing an action on the grounds of desertion (also known as non-adherence), a prior action of adherence first had to be brought before the commissaries (sometimes also a declarator of marriage if there was likely to be any doubt about the validity of the marriage). |
