Abstract
Elizabeth Brake’s book, Minimizing Marriage. Marriage, Morality, and the Law” (2012), aims at examining the following questions: why is marriage so socially important? why do we attribute a special value to it? what exactly does imply the moral value we socially recognize to it? From a moral point of view, what does imply the legal dyadic intimate relationship among two people of different sex and what kind of obligations imposes? Are the current marital laws discriminatory? The critical reading offered here explains why, according to Brake, marriage should be de-moralized and explores her proposal of a new and innovative form of marriage, that she labels “minimal marriage”.
