Frolicksome Women & Troublesome Wives Wife Selling in England
16.93£
Author:
Barb Drummond
Wife selling is often seen as an act of brutal husbands, but it was a practical and cheap way of ending unhappy marriages. More than a cheap form of divorce, it was often a way for the woman to remarry, the various rituals used to make the exchange seem legal. Though the press widely condemned it, no laws were passed against it and there are examples of successful remarriages. The practice shows ordinary people solving their own problems when the authorities failed to do so.
