[Sexuality in Ancient Egypt].

The present article explores the sexuality in ancient Egypt. In particular in this article are presented the ways of concubinage (marriage, concubinage, adultery), the incest, loves of the pharaohs and of the common people, the freedom of choice in garments, the status of the hetairas and of the whores, the sexual perversions (male and female homosexuality, necrophilia, sodomism, bestiality, rape, masturbation, exhibitionism), the operations of the genitals (circumcision, excision, castration) and finally the level of knowledge in gynaecology, fertility, contraception and obstetrics that even today demands our admiration.

Disputed paternity: the historical perspectives.

Requests for blood tests to resolve issues of disputed paternity fall under three main categories: (1) Proof of adultery; (2) Proof of kinship (a) in claims for citizenship, (b) to make material changes to the Birth Certificate, (c) for settlement of family disputes usually in inheritance matters; and (3) Investigation of sex crimes like rape and incest where a child is the result of the union. A broad overview is given on the venous red cell and serum blood groups used for paternity investigations. The laws of inheritance as applied to blood group investigations for disputed paternity are discussed. A survey of cases investigated on red cell and serum genetic markers since 1978 till 1990 showed an average of 5.5 cases a year with exclusion of the putative father in 19% of cases.

Divorce and children: fact proven and interval between petition and decree.

This article presents some basic statistics on divorce in England and Wales in 1994 which are relevant to the current debate on the reform of divorce law. Over one half (56 per cent) of all divorces were to couples with children aged under 16 in their family. The most frequent fact proven by wives was the unreasonable behaviour of their husbands (54 per cent of all divorces granted to wives) whilst the most frequent fact proven by husbands was their wives' adultery--37 per cent of all divorces granted to husbands. These proportions were even higher amongst divorcing wives and husbands who had children aged under 16 in their family; 60 and 45 per cent, respectively. The median interval of time between filing the petition and obtaining the decree varied little across the different groups of divorcing couples. Overall, the median interval was just under 7 months. About one in 9 couples were granted divorce within 4 months of filing the petition, 2 in 5 within 6 months, and approximately 4 in 5 divorces were granted within one year.
