re: #241 Florida Panhandler
After 2024, throughout much of the country this article will not be one about “indecent liberties” but a happy marriage announcement.
Marriage, or some sort of contractual concubinage thing? My presumption is that once women are property the formal “wife” will depend on her social status; e.g. who her father is. Otherwise, a woman taken for sexual activities who doesn’t have sufficient status will be given some sort of secondary status below “wife”. Assuming there is any sort of formal acknowledgement of the arrangement since lip service to Christian monogamy is probably still in the game.
