The book explores the evolution and various aspects of engagement and marriage practices in earlier times, delving deeply into societal norms, legal frameworks, and significant changes from medieval customs to more modern views. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the author's intention of crafting a concise history of engagement and marriage customs, particularly focusing on the 16th century. It highlights the changes in societal expectations around marriage caused by political and religious upheaval, such as the decline of Spanish authority and the impact of the Reformation. Knappert emphasizes the intricate conflicts between traditional practices, Church law, and emerging civil regulations regarding marital unions, setting the stage for a detailed examination of how these elements shaped the institution of marriage during that period.
