MOLINA, Fernanda. “Casadas dos veces”: Mujeres e inquisidores ante el delito de bigamia femenina en el Virreinato del Perú (siglos XVI-XVII). Mem. am. [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.1, pp.31-46. ISSN 1851-3751.

This article aims to inquire the phenomenon of female bigamy through court proceedings initiated by the Tribunal of the Holy Office in the Viceroyalty of Peru during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 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 atitudes of bigamous women in view of the crime, during the trials proper, are also analyzed.
