Abstract

This work aims at developing a piece of the history of marriage conflicts and divorce in Catalonia (more precisely in Barcelona and Girona) under a time framework corresponding to the end of the Old Regime (1775-1833). On the one hand we raise the key factors that determined the evolution of divorce and gender relations. On the other hand, we analyze divorce as it was understood in the studied period, its facets and modalities, and we underline the prominent role of women in the formal divorce processes (divorce legalized by the ecclesiastical tribunal). Finally, we study the implications of formal divorce and we try to explain the liberalization process occurring in the Barcelona of the considered period.
