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.
In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage was______.
选项
A、higher than that of a single woman
B、the same as that of her husband
C、lower than that of her husband
D、higher than that of her husband
答案
B
解析
本题是一道推断类问题。问在文章中描述的社会里,已婚妇女的法律地位如何。文章第一段最后三句话指出,妻子有权否决丈夫所做的所有交易。这些文书不仅仅代表着一种权利,它们表明她享有真正的决策权,该权利与其丈夫平等。在任何情况下这些文书都不表明丈夫和妻子在法律地位上有任何区别。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“其权利和其丈夫的权利是同样的”。
