Duplex valor maritagii is a legal phrase denoting the concept of “doubling the worth of a marriage.” Historically, when a child was under the guardianship of someone, that guardian possessed the authority to arrange a suitable marriage for the child. If the child declined the proposed match, they would lose the value of the marriage to their guardian. In the event that the child married without the guardian’s approval, they would forfeit twice the value of the marriage. This was regarded as a severe penalty during ancient times.
Duplex valor maritagii is a legal term that refers to “double the value of a marriage.” In the past, if a ward, which is a young person under the care of a guardian, got married without their guardian’s consent, they were required to pay twice the value of the marriage as a penalty. For instance, if the marriage was valued at $10,000 but the ward did not have their guardian’s permission, they would have to pay $20,000 as a penalty. This penalty was implemented to discourage young individuals from marrying without their guardian’s approval. However, this law was considered harsh as it imposed a significant financial burden on young people who wished to marry someone disapproved by their guardian. Furthermore, it was unfair as it only applied to wards and not to others who married without parental consent.
