Question

According to the Court in Maynard v. Hill (1888), the legal definition of marriage is that it is merely a civil contract founded upon the agreement of the parties and does not require any religious ceremony for its solemnization.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Explanation:

b. False

The case of Maynard v. Hill (1888) did not address the legal definition of marriage.

While the case discusses a married couple, the focus of the case is on property rights under the Donation Act and residency requirements, not the nature of marriage itself.
