This article examines an arranged marriage between a seven-year-old Inka girl and an adult Spanish man, and the prosecution that followed. Historians of marriage in the early modern Hispanic world have found broad support for the principle of free consent, which underlay Catholic marriage law and prohibited child marriage. Child marriage was legally invalid and rare. Yet, in this case none of the participants, whether Spanish or indigenous, in favor or opposed to the marriage, considered child marriage to be wrong in itself. The marriage of a child provided members of two ruling castes (colonial elites and colonized Inkas) a shared space for family alliance.

早期殖民地库斯科的童婚

本文研究了一个七岁的印加女孩和一个成年的西班牙男人之间的包办婚姻，以及随后的起诉。早期现代西班牙裔世界中的婚姻史学家发现，人们广泛支持自由同意的原则，这是天主教婚姻法的基础，并禁止童婚。童婚在法律上无效且罕见。然而，在这种情况下，无论是西班牙人还是土著人，无论赞成还是反对婚姻的参加者都没有认为童婚本身就是错误的。一个孩子的婚姻为两个统治阶级（殖民地精英和印加人）的成员提供了家庭同盟的共享空间。
