	Betrothal
		The betrothal is a promise of future marriage, and hence it differs from the marriage contract itself, which deals with that state as in the present.
		Hence, a marriage contracted between the male party to a betrothal and the mother, sister, or daughter of the other party; and, vice versa, between the woman and the father, brother, or son of the man, would be null and void.
		Betrothal in England was once a legal bar to matrimony with another; at present the only legal remedy for the violation of the betrothal is an action for breach of promise.

		Public betrothal carries with it an obligation to marry, and in case of refusal an action "lies" for the injured party.
