Marrying the Unbeliever
The marriage between a Christian and a non‐Christian has been a highly discussed topic in the history of the Catholic Church and canon law. This study aims to analyse the construction of knowledge concerning disparitas cultus by using a broad array of sources including moral theology, canon law, and missionaries' cases that circulated in different regions of the Iberian Empires.

Second, it proposes a systematic analysis of marriage in Japan follo…
