Abstract
This paper presents a comparison between some issues related to marriage in Christian Mediterranean, in both the West and the Byzantine area. It is proposed a parallel between modes of marriage; in particular through the interplay of two variables: a written and unwritten marriage, and marriage with or without transfer of goods. En este trabajo se presenta una comparación de algunas cuestiones referidas al matrimonio en el Mediterráneo cristiano occidental y Bizantino. Se propone un paralelo entre las modalidades de matrimonio; en particular a través del juego de las variables que supone un matrimonio escrito y no escrito, con transferencia de bienes o sin transferencia de bienes.
