520 |a During and after the Reformation, many Protestant territories in Germany established marriage courts in order both to manage and to resolve an increasing number of divorce and separation cases. Most suits for marriage separation were filed by women on the grounds of domestic violence. Violent behaviour of men was commonly accepted as a traditional means of protecting both their social reputation and their social control over the household as paterfamilias. There was, therefore, much ambiguity about where the boundary between legitimate and illegitimate violence lay. In court, female plaintiffs accordingly had recourse to Protestant moral codes to reinterpret and criminalize male attitudes which could in other contexts have been conceived of as socially acceptable. In so doing, they successfully cooperated with the civil and ecclesiastical court authorities which had a social, economic, and religious interest in domesticizing marital relations.
