When the verb accord means "give or grant", should the passive voice be accorded someone or accorded to someone?
I came across several sentences in a book:
The attention accorded husband-wife relations in Muslim teachings thus confirmed the indigenous view of matrimony as a desirable state, with the birth of children considered essential for the full attainment of adulthood.
Similar processes occurred in Daoism, which percolated into Vietnam from southern China but never received the official patronage accorded Confucianism.
Shouldn't it be "accorded to husband-wife relations", as "given to husband-wife relations"?
