Fraud, needs, and gender discrimination in pre-nuptial agreements
More than 15 years after the Supreme Court decided that pre-nuptial agreements would be given effect unless unfair in Radmacher v Granatino [2010] UKSC 42, questions remain as to when it would be unfair to uphold an agreement’s terms. The issue of disclosure, however, is relatively settled. As the Supreme Court clarified in Radmacher, the court must ask whether there was any ‘material lack of disclosure’ depriving a party of ‘all the information …
Child Preparedness for Infertility Disclosure
Infertility, often perceived as an adult issue, can also manifest in childhood, presenting unique challenges. Improper handling of infertility disclosures can strain parent–child relationships and potentially lead to significant psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and long-term impacts on self-image. Despite the critical nature of these conversations, parents often report receiving little or no guidance from professionals on ho…

Quiet Revolutionaries
This book tells the previously untold story of the Married Women’s Association. Unlike more conventional histories of family law, which focus on legal actors, it highlights the little-known yet indispensable work of a dedicated group of life-long activists. Formed in 1938, the Married Women’s Association took reform of family property law as its chief focus. The name is deceptively innocuous, suggesting tea parties and charity fundraisers, but in…
Sex and Socialism
While later generations of Marxian scientific socialists saw sex as secondary, derivative of the real relationships of production, many of the earliest socialist theorists and movements took sexual matters very seriously. Thus, in many ways, the advent of Marxian socialism represented something of a step backward in the development of a radical sexual politics. However, in the twentieth century, old divisions on the sex question within the left s…
A millstone around the neck? Stereotypes about wives and myths about divorce
This article examines the effect of and connection between stereotypes about wives and myths about financial provision on divorce. It is based on an assessment of press reports on Mills v Mills which have fuelled calls for reform of the law of financial provision on divorce, most notably the Divorce (Financial Provision) Bill 2017–2019. It argues that gendered stereotypes about wives (such as ‘alimony drone’, ‘gold-digger’ and ‘meal ticket for li…
Humanist weddings in Northern Ireland
While humanist weddings are legally recognised in Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and Jersey, this has not been the case in the rest of the British Isles. For Northern Ireland, its cultural proxi
Feminist Relational Contract Theory
In this article, a new model named Feminist Relational Contract Theory (FRCT) is explained, justified, and applied to the context of family property agreements and specifically nuptial agreements. Most nuptial agreements are created amidst a complex web of power relationships and the dynamic of these relationships often evolves over time. However, the courts in England and Wales have not yet found a way to recognize this without adopting a patern…

Development of the Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scales (Ipvas) With a Predominantly Mexican American College Sample
Although instruments that estimate the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) are available, few include potential predictors of violent behaviors such as beliefs and attitudes. The main purpose of this study was to develop a measure of attitudes toward various forms of IPV. The secondary purpose was to examine Mexican American and non-Hispanic White college students’ attitudes toward IPV. Data from a sample of 333 predominantly Mexican Am…
Going all the way
At once an affectionate tribute and a work of social history, Going All the Way follows four hundred teenage girls' thoughts and experiences during one of the most remarkable eras in the history of sex, gender, and adolescence - the brief and amazing period when teenage girls knew of almost no reason not to have sex. The feminist scholar Sharon Thompson first began to listen to teenage girls' tales about their sexual and romantic experiences in t…
Putting a big thing into a little hole
The rise in adolescent coitus in the late 1970s and early 1980s provoked many studies of teenage contraceptive practice. Drawing on 400 in‐depth interviews with teenage girls, this article considers the quality of teenage girls’ sexual initiations, comparing the family and sexual histories of girls who describe sexual initiation as painful, boring, or disappointing with those of girls who emphasize sexual curiosity, desire, and pleasure. In concl…
