Listen "Episode 6: 'Better a Pet Dog with a Temper than a Wife with a Venomous Tongue' - Wives, Husbands and Civil Liability for Wrongdoing"
Episode Synopsis
Until the 1930s, when a married woman committed a civil wrong or tort, she would not be liable in the eyes of the law. Instead, her husband would be sued for her wrongdoing. In this episode, we speak to Professor Joanne Conaghan about the role of tort law in regulating relationships between husbands and wives, and its ability to promote economic and political equality.
