@cb.darkhistory: When Marriage Erased Women’s Rights For centuries, women lost their legal identity the moment they married. Under a system called coverture, everything they owned: wages, land, even clothing, legally belonged to their husband. Small reforms began in the late 1800s, but in practice, banks and institutions still refused women independence well into the 1960s and 70s. It wasn’t tradition, it was a system of control, keeping women dependent by law. #darkhistory #womensrights #hiddenhistory #fyp #LearnOnTikTok
