192pp. Lightly illustrated. Indexed. Laminated card covers (very gentle edge wear to card covers, else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout). Examines how people ended marriages in times before divorce was acceptable – including unofficial methods such as bigamy, or simply moving away. Alternatively, a husband could perform a wife sale, where he led his unwanted wife to market in a halter and sold her to the highest bidder, or, if he could afford it, seek a legal separation through the courts.
