Edict: In 1914 when Albert Einstein found his marriage to first wife, Mileva Maric, was floundering, he issued a list of demands that he believed would allow them to maintain a relationship for the sake of the children. The list, published in full below, is a set of demands that would see Maric become more maidservant than lover.
The story reached its widest audience with the 2003 US television documentary, Einstein's Wife. Maric came to general attention with the publication of the love letters between herself and Einstein as part of the Princeton Press' Collected Papers of Albert Einstein.
