Podporządkowanie / posłuszeństwo żon(y) wobec męża – wymóg religijny czy kulturowy?
Bugel, Walerian (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2016)
The sacramental matrimony rites have undergone a complicated evolution-process; nowadays they are a manifestation of high diversity within the various liturgical traditions. A very specific element within them was the vow of marital obedience from the side of the bride, which sometimes was supplanted by the prayers, where the subordination of the woman toward man was strongly marked. This element was abolished in our times within the rites of many Christian confessions, also on account of the contemporary anthropological and social sensitivity, demanding the equal treatment of the woman and man. On the basis of an analysis of the matrimony rites within various Christian denominations, as well as a comparison with the situation of women in selected antic civilizations and religions, the paper tries to find and trace if it is possible to bring an answer to the question about the religious character or the cultural one of pointing the subordinated role of women, which has been so often underlined within the marital rites until recently.
