Marriage can be understood as a rite of passage that marks a fundamental transformation in a person?s life, legally, politically, and economically, and often in that person?s self-conception, as an individual and in terms of his or her place in society. This transformation combines and blurs various themes. We focus here on the following aspects, which are integral to the articles in this issue: the private and the public, tradition and innovation, the collective and the individual. The media play a crucial role in shaping all of these categories and their relationship. Finally, we consider the connections between marriage and religion, for a wedding is not per se religious. In the contemporary European context in particular, a wedding can take the form simply of the signing of a socio-legal contract. But nevertheless? or perhaps exactly therefore? marriages are often staged ritualistically and linked to religious symbols, worldviews, and norms.

What does it mean to be in love while at war? This Element demonstrates that whether rebel groups commit themselves to marriage, bar it entirely, or reinterpret the ceremonies and practices associated with marriage, their decision has important implications for both the rebel organization and individual members. This Element contributes to the literature on gender and politics by demonstrating that rebel marriages are an under-appreciated driver of gendered conflict and post-conflict dynamics. This Element introduces frameworks for understanding how rebel groups approach the issue of marriage, suggesting that variation between and within rebel groups over time is related to not only the rebels' political project, but also the anticipated effect of marriage on cohesion and retention, and the rebels' logistical concerns. Furthermore, the Element unpacks how wartime rebel marriages can complicate or improve women's prospects for post-conflict reintegration by shaping whether rebel wives are depoliticized, distrusted, or reclaimed.

La Karmapañjikā est un manuel prescrivant les rites domestiques dans la tradition Paippalāda de l’Atharvaveda. Le texte, qui revendique son adhésion à un Sūtra de Paiṭhīnasi, fut composé en Orissa au XVIe siècle de notre ère par un certain Śrīdhara, dont on ne sait rien par ailleurs. Son ouvrage, témoin précieux de la tradition atharvavédique dans la période médiévale tardive, conserve des traits archaïques remontant à l’époque védique tout en témoignant d’une forte influence de diverses traditions non védiques présentes dans cette région de l’Inde orientale. L’édition critique, qui comptera en totalité trois tomes, s’appuie sur six manuscrits sur ôles en écriture oriya. Ce premier volume contient une introduction détaillée, suivie par l’édition des neuf premiers chapitres du texte, qui décrivent les paradigmes généraux du rituel domestique dans cette tradition.

Why did marriage become central to the English novel in the eighteenth century? As clandestine weddings and the unruly culture that surrounded them began to threaten power and property, questions about where and how to marry became urgent matters of public debate. In 1753, in an unprecedented and controversial use of state power, Lord Chancellor Hardwicke mandated Anglican church weddings as marriage's only legal form. Resistance to his Marriage Act would fuel a new kind of realist marriage plot in England and help to produce political radicalism as we know it. Focussing on how major authors from Samuel Richardson to Jane Austen made church weddings a lynchpin of their fiction, The Origins of the English Marriage Plot offers a truly innovative account of the rise of the novel by telling the story of the English marriage plot's engagement with the most compelling political and social questions of its time.
