It offers a historical context for Suriname&#8217;s Sephardic community and its unique set of privileges, in conjunction with an elaboration of Dutch (colonial) law on marriage and the property rights of Jewish women. Next, the judicial practice is explored, showing how Jewish women, and predominantly widows, made active use of colonial institutions to assert their rights and interests, and how women and girls of marriageable age occupied a complex position of considerable socio-economic influence paired with a convergence of legal and familial constraints.]]></p></abstract>

Apresenta um contexto histórico da comunidade sefardita do Suriname e o seu conjunto único de privilégios, em conjunto com uma elaboração da lei holandesa (colonial) sobre o casamento e os direitos de propriedade das mulheres judias. Em seguida, explora-se a prática judicial, mostrando como as mulheres judias, e predominantemente as viúvas, utilizavam ativamente as instituições coloniais para asseverar os seus direitos e interesses, e como as mulheres e as raparigas de idade de casar ocupavam uma posição complexa de considerável influência socioeconómica, junta a uma convergência de constrangimentos legais e familiares.]]></p></abstract>
