The special marriage law for Jews in Austria - early publication on the relationship of the Austrian state to Jewish marriage laws
Das besondere Eherecht der Juden in Oesterreich nach den §§. 123-136 des allgemeinen bürgerlichen Gesetzbuches. - The Special Marriage Law of the Jews in Austria according to regulations 123-136 of the General Civil Code. A rare publication on how the system of Jewish laws in marriage law found its place with the laws of the Austrian state, by Ignaz Grassl, Vienna, 1838 - First edition.
A comprehensive examination of the marriage laws that applied specifically to Jewish communities in Austria in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book provides detailed insights into how Jewish marriage customs and religious laws were integrated into or differentiated from the broader Austrian legal system. The author comments on certain laws regarding Jewish marriages that were influenced by both Jewish traditions and Austrian state regulations, including the role of rabbis in the marriage process and marriage registration procedures, the legal significance of the Jewish ketubah and how it was recognized by the Austrian authorities, an analysis of Jewish divorce laws and the conditions under which it can be obtained, the interaction between Jewish and Austrian divorce regulations, and more. The book also extensively addresses marriages of Jews with non-Jews and how Austrian law relates to these marital ties, comparisons between Jewish marriage laws and the general civil marriage laws of Austria, highlighting differences and areas of conflict or integration, as well as specific legal disputes related to Jewish marriages, illustrating how the laws were applied in practice.
The book is one of the most important sources regarding the unique legal status of Jewish communities in 19th-century Austria. It reflects the complexity of maintaining religious traditions within a secular legal framework and the ways in which Jewish communities navigated these challenges.
