Susan,
Klapisch-Zuber describes the practice as Norman, even where it was known
in Italy. I had hoped to check my copy of Helmholz, Marriage Litigation;
but I got sidetracked last night by domestic business (a cairn of
dishes). I also intended to check Rayomnd of Penafort, Summa de
matrimonio to determine whether anything of interest might show up.
