Widowed Women and their New Families in an Eighteenth-Century Market Town in Gömör County

Summary/Abstract: This study examines the remarrying behaviour of widows living in the market town of Csetnek and its affiliated parishes based on the Lutheran and Catholic registers. The community accepted the remarriage of widows as a norm, widows however remarried in smaller rates and more slowly than the general pattern. Women’s chances of remarriage were influenced primarily by their age and the sex and age of their children.
