===Tamper Court=== | ===Tamper Court=== | ||
After the Reformation, Christian V, and the Danish Code of 1683, the same rules carried on. But now the parties could be permitted to remarry because the church no longer considered marriage as a sacrament. A couple would divorce, but their case presented by tamper law, a special church marriage tribunal. The court came together four times a year - on tamper days. The name is a "Danishization" of the Latin "quatuor tempora" - the four parts of which the church year was divided into. | After the Reformation, Christian V, and the Danish Code of 1683, the same rules carried on.
