Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Sexually Transmitted Debt is the first major study of an increasingly evident social and legal problem: the provision of third party loan security by a spouse/partner for the business debts of the other spouse/partner. This book is unique in its multi-faceted approach to the issue comprising detailed legal analysis and consideration of relevant sociological literature, backed up by empirical research. The result is a very readable text in which the gap between the law and practical experience clearly emerges.
MoreLong description:
This book is the first major study of an increasingly evident legal and social problem: spouses and partners (particularly wives) who provide third party loan security for the business liabilities of their other spouse or partner.
Unlike other texts in this field, Fehlberg specifically considers the legal rules which apply to surety wives in England, with reference to other Commonwealth jurisdictions, particularly Canada and Australia. The law is then considered in the context of sociological literature relevant to surety experience. The particular uniqueness of this book is that legal and sociological literature are then tested against empirical research involving interviews with sureties, and other main parties involved in surety transactions. Significantly the latter underlines the discrepancy between the 'public' legal perspective on providing security and 'private' complex experiences and motivations which pertain within intimate relationships. Given this situation, the author considers various legal reforms which could improve the position of sureties, but emphasises that the ultimate solution for sureties involves more fundamental social change.
Belinda Fehlberg provides a most original and fascinating study of the problem of sexually transmitted debt ... Fehlberg makes a powerful case for law reform ... Her work is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the sexual politics of allocation of money and debt within the family.
