Definition: In earlier times, a
marriage bond was given to the court by the intended groom prior to his
marriage. It affirmed that there was no moral or legal reason why the
couple could not be married and it also affirmed that the groom would
not change his mind. If he did, and did not marry the intended bride, he
would forfeit the bond. The bondsman, or surety, was often a brother or
uncle to the bride, not necessarily a parent. The bondsman could also be
related to the groom, or even be a neighbour or friend, but those
situations occurred less often.
