## Caption

Wife selling in England: a Carlisle farmer sold his wife in a halter for 20 shillings and a dog.

April 1832. Mary Anne Thomson stood on an oak chair while her husband listed her faults. Why go along with it? The law gave her almost no other way out of a marriage.

Humiliation, loophole, or escape?
