When an English woman married, she typically experienced a significant shift in her legal status and social identity. Traditionally, upon marriage, she would enter into a legal doctrine known as coverture, where her legal rights and obligations were subsumed under her husband's. This meant she could lose the ability to own property independently or make contracts without her husband's consent. However, changes in laws over the years, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, have gradually improved women's rights in marriage.
