Note 884 — Chapter VI · OLD ENGLISH WIFE-PURCHASE YIELDS TO FREE MARRIAGE
Reading edition
This is the view of Sohm, Trauung und Verlobung, 38-57; Eheschliessung, 89, 90, 100, 59 ff.; as opposed to Friedberg, Verlobung and Trauung, 21 ff.; Eheschliessung, 21, 22, who thinks that the Trauung and Verlobung usually coincided. Cf. Schroeder, Rechtsgeschichte, 293; and Dieckhoff, Kirchliche Trauung, 67, who agrees with Sohm.
