matrimonial prestation  

Definición

  • Taken from the anthropological vocabulary in France, the phrase matrimonial prestations refers to the culturally codified material transfers or services that in most traditional societies render a marriage juridically valid. By such transfers, a party acquires rights over the spouse, such as the right to the spouse's labor, the right to include children into the party's lineage, and the right to claim compensation for adultery or murder.
