Sex, Love and Paradigms of Marriage. Chapter 6 discusses how far Shakespeare’s plays reflect the views of his age—that marriage is less a romantic and sexual bond than a partnership based on “friendship or ‘amity’.

The Taming of the Shrew also que…

Desire for relational autonomy, such as the freedom to love multiple partners and be sexually intimate with them, is a widespread motive for engaging in CNM. In this qualitative study, we explored if and how this kind of autonomy was experienced by polyamorous individuals in daily life. Autonomy in relationship…

Arranged marriage is a tradition in the societies of the Indian subcontinent, and continues to account for an overwhelming majority of marriages in the Indian subcontinent.

Arranged marriages are believed to have initially risen to prominence in the Indian subcontinent when the historical Vedic religion gradually gave way to classical…
