until 20ish years ago there was no such crime as marital rape in england.
so a husband had the right to control his wife's sex life to a great degree. he could have sex with her whether she wanted to or not.
even if they were separated she needed a formal deed of separation... a court order for him not to rape her. seriously.
it was very much a women's issue for anyone of my mother's generation.
