Married women   Written by bridget D (2/17/2013 5:32 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, It's a more general question I just wondered, penned by OlgaI
Are you new?

There is the situation of Eliza I, Brandon's former love, who was married off to his brother. Clearly she became pregnant by a lover and her husband divorced her, so the child (Eliza Williams) was not recognised as his and she was able to keep it. But I think if a husband didn't sue for divorce, yes, in common law a child of a married woman was presumed to be her husband's and as such, would share in the family wealth etc.
