Repudiation (marriage)

For example: * In Islam, a talaq divorce allows a woman or man to divorce their spouse (in Arabic, talaq), otherwise known as the formula of repudiation. * In Babylonian law a husband could repudiate his wife, at the cost of returning the dowry. * Repudiation is also a concept that existed in the Roman law * In India, Section 13(2)(iv) of the Hindu Marriage Act and Section 2(vii) of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 gave young wives the option, within time limits, while Section 3(3) of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 gave both husbands and wives the choice, as well as a little more time to exercise it.

Saint Anastasija

He perhaps mixed her up with the wife of Prince Miroslav, who was the sister of Ban Kulin. However this is not supported by any sources.Predrag Puzović 1998, ch.

Stefan Vladislav
Stefan Vladislav ( sr-cyr, Стефан Владислав, ; – after 1264) was the King of Serbia from 1234 to 1243.
