Jual beli istri (kebiasaan Inggris)
Kebiasaan Inggris untuk menjual istrinya ini adalah cara mengakhiri pernikahan yang memuaskan dengan kesepakatan bersama yang dimulai pada akhir abad 17, ketika praktek perceraian adalah sebuah kemustahilan untuk semua tapi sangat kaya. Setelah memamerkan istrinya dengan tali di lehernya, lengan, atau pinggang, suami akan menawarkan ke publik dan melakukan lelang ke penawar tertinggi. Menjual istrinya memberi latar belakang untuk novel Thomas Hardy, Walikota Casterbridge, di mana karakter sentral menjual istrinya pada awal cerita, suatu tindakan yang menghantuinya selama sisa hidupnya, dan akhirnya menghancurkan dia.
