They were expected to move out of their parents' house and move in with their husbands. However, husbands were expected to do the same. According to Germaine Greer's book Shakespeare's Wife, this raises interesting questions about where the unemployed 18-year-old Will and his pregnant wife lived after they got married. So strong was the prejudice against married couples living with their parents that Greer believes the newly married Shakespeares must have taken a tiny and cheap lodging on the outskirts of town.
