From a Se^atixe by Mias Hodf^son.
lOO of the issue of the license, or early in December, 1582, William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway. The comparatively short time between this date and the baptism of their first child on May 26th, 1583, has led some to question the strict morality of the poet, but for two reasons this seems gratuitous slander, in the absence of any other evidence. In the first place, the ceremony of hand-fasting or solemn betrothal was in those days, both popularly and lega
...lly equivalent to marriage, though it was always understood that it was a ceremony intended to be completed by the service of the church later. This hand-fasting was a legal bar to marriage with another person.
It usually took place two or three months before the church service ; and in >^r 'Hiimm OI-P HOrSKS, I.ri)I)IN(. ION.
wills and similar documents of the period we frequently find a woman described as the wife of a man to whom she was not yet married by the church rites. A very apposite instance occurs in the will of Robert Arden, made July 17th, 1550, in which he mentions his daughter Agnes as ** uxor Thome Stringer," although her marriage with Thomas Stringer did not take place until October 15th, 1550.
