A Victorian hubbie had the legal right to:
a) lock up his wife (this law was changed in 1891)
b) beat up his wife (this law was changed in 1879)
c) own all of his wife's clothes and belongings. (changed in 1882)
When you think about it it wasn't that long ago.

Those early Victorians knew what they were doing.
