Man and Wife

A woman is married, in Scottish law, by a form of words she did not know were binding — and the man who spoke them is a brutal athlete who wants her only because she is now his property. Collins wrote this in 1870 against the marriage laws and against the cult of muscular sport, and both establishments howled; the Scottish irregular marriage was real law, and so was the fact that she had no remedy.
