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.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?
选项
A、The husband was given control over his wife’s property.
B、The wife gained a powerful economic position.
C、The wife was protected from desertion.
D、The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.
答案
D
解析
本题是一道根据文章内容进行判断类问题。问下面哪个选项不是文章中提到的嫁妆制的结果。通读全文,我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是D“丈夫必须在婚姻生活中分享决定权”。文章第二段第一句和第二句指出,妻子参与丈夫的私有财产的管理,但是反过来丈夫却不是这样。妇女们似乎随时准备捍卫自己的世袭财产,以防丈夫越权行事,为此,她们有时表现出无畏的抗争精神。
