Paramour rights
Paramour rights refers to a pre-Civil War Southern practice that gave white men the right to take black women, married or not, as concubines. The term "Paramour Rights" was first used by Zora Neale Hurston, to describe the practice of white men fathering children by black women whether they were married or not.
