]]> The graph shows the number of marriage dispensations in relation to the total number of marriages between 1773 and 1832 in the Kingdom of Murcia. These dispensations were granted by the Church when the spouses had consanguinity; kinship in different degrees. From 1780, the increase of consanguineous marriages is progressive and, within the social profile of the peasants, they used it as a strategy to consolidate the family by establishing double marriages. At times of change between the Ancien Régime and the liberal state, a decreasing trend of dispensations has been observed; rather, at the beginning of the 19th century, the Church relaxed these necessary dispensations by changing the degrees of prohibition. The authors point out that, while the number of dispensations decreased, the actual number of consanguineous marriages increased due to this greater permissibility.
