| "Registers of claims" before the Roman "Tribunale de Vicario" only existing anymore for the period between Sept. 1846 until Sept. 1849. They offer evidence concerning claims because of "fornication". The term "fornication" covers a multivalence of meanings and is often used interchangeagly with rape, defloration and seduction. People in social reality did not distinguish these misbehaviours according to the actuality used amount of physical violence but according to the possibilty of recovering the victim's honour. This lost honour could be restituted through marriage with the rapist/seductor. A special dowry could be a substitute in order to make good for the loss of "marriage capital" of the victim in case that the offender should be already married. Women of "lewd conduct" had already lost this capital and therefore had no chance to obtain such compensation. On the contrary, if they would be victims, of sexual violence in the current meaning of these crimes the surrounding publicity would turn against the victim. such vitims and their relatives therefore never made such complaints to the ecclesiastical court. These cases do only surface in sources covering other topics. Publicity of sexual offences does therefore only make sense in the connection with a possible comepensation in order to restore the wounded morality of the victim. the appearance of sexual violence in a Roman Criminal Court meant mostly additional damage to the victim. It could even turn her from victim to offender in the eyes of the public | |
