SOLD for a Shilling: England's Dark Secret
In the "civilized" world of Victorian England, marriage wasn't always a sacred union—it was a financial trap. Divorce was impossible for the poor, leaving countless women enslaved to unhappy, abusive, or financially ruined marriages. Their only escape? The terrifying ritual of the market auction. Watch as we uncover the shocking truth of wife-selling, a widespread folk custom where a woman was branded with a halter, paraded in the street, and sold for the price of a pint of ale, a dog, or a few shillings. This wasn't fiction; it was the accepted system that reduced women to property. Discover the legal loophole, the sheer desperation, and the brutal indifference of a society that chose to forget the suffering of its own women.
