Analyzing the doctrinal corpus on duplici matrimonio and relaciones de causa de fe produced by the tribunal, it poses a discussion on how Peruvian inquisitors interpreted female bigamy, whether as a sign of heresy or sexual transgression. Moreover the opinions and attitudes of bigamous women in view of the crime, during the trials proper, are also analyzed. |
