Jill Elaine Hasday

Intimate Lies and the Law

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book that systematically examines deception in sexual, marital, and familial relationships and uncovers the hidden body of law that shields intimate deceivers from legal consequences. It argues that entering an intimate relationship-or being duped into one-should not mean losing the law's protection from deceit.
