About This Clues Answer
We think the answer is "MORGANATIC" which means:
- adjective satellite
- • (of marriages) of a marriage between one of royal or noble birth and one of lower rank; valid but with the understanding that the rank of the inferior remains unchanged and offspring do not succeed to titles or property of the superior adjective
- • Designating a marriage (or the wife involved) between a man of higher rank and a woman of lower rank, often having various legal repercussions (typically that such a wife has no claim on the husband's possessions or title). it was not an aspect of english law, but was common in other royal houses, especially in germany.
An example sentence would be:
- • "The prince's marriage to his commoner girlfriend was considered a morganatic."
- • "In a morganatic marriage, the wife does not receive the same titles and privileges as her husband."
