Скачать или смотреть The Tudor Law That Made Every Woman Property (Dark History)

Imagine walking into a church as a free woman with your own money and identity, only to walk out legally erased. In Tudor England, this wasn’t a metaphor—it was the brutal reality of marriage laws that transformed wives from people into property.

This documentary uncovers the dark history of Coverture, the legal doctrine that governed English society for centuries. We explore how Tudor England utilized a system where a woman's legal rights, wages, and even her name were instantly transferred to her husband upon saying "I do." From the plight of common merchants' daughters to the royal struggles of Katherine of Aragon and Henry VIII, we reveal the terrifying truth behind Tudor marriage customs.

Historians often refer to this status as "civil death." While modern media romanticizes the Tudor era, the legal history reveals a machine of institutionalized subjugation. Discover the "Feme Covert" status, the economic stripping of women's rights, and why this 800-year-old system is considered one of the darkest chapters in British History.
