When an English woman married, her property typically became the legal property of her husband due to the doctrine of coverture, which was prevalent in English common law. Under coverture, a married woman's legal identity was subsumed under her husband's, meaning she could not own property or enter into contracts independently. This changed with the Married Women's Property Acts in the late 19th century, which began to allow married women to retain ownership of their property and have legal rights.
