Description
In this fascinating book, renowned WA historian Penelope Hetherington turns her analytical gaze to marriage and divorce in colonial Western Australia. The Marriage Knot ends the confusion about religious arrangements and disagreements in the first thirty years of the colony and along the way, reveals the kinds of marriage registration instigated by the government and other aspects of its marriage laws.
