Before modern divorce laws, how did the working class of Victorian England escape a broken marriage? The answer is a shocking custom known as wife-selling.
This historical exploration examines the real-life practice of a husband selling his wife at a public market. We uncover the truth behind this bizarre tradition, from its legal roots in the doctrine of "coverture" to its eventual decline. Learn how this act, while humiliating, was sometimes a collaborative effort between a husband, a wife, and her lover to find freedom from an unbearable situation.
We'll discuss the ritual, the societal reaction, and the legacy of this dark chapter in the fight for women's rights and legal justice.
