It is often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆) or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion (离弃、 抛弃), but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent in all transactions the husband would make. And more than just a right; the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe (文书,抄写员) to have a contract duly (适时地,正式地) drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace. " Either through dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.
What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?
选项
A、Money from Miro’s land.
B、Money for household expenses.
C、A tenth of Miro’s land.
D、Some of the land Miro had inherited.
答案
D
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问玛利亚·维瓦斯因为那块地得到了什么赔偿。文章指出,玛利亚·维瓦斯就是一个很好的例子,在她和丈夫麦罗一致同意卖掉她的一块属地,以补家用之后,她执意坚持丈夫给予补偿。由于家中没有任何可用于补偿的东西,她便拽着丈夫到法律文书那里及时立下契约,将麦罗的一块个人继承的属地划拨给她。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“她丈夫继承的一些土地”。
