Answer 1

The answer is: Coverture

Step-by-step explanation:

Coverture laws are old laws(that don't apply anymore) brought to the US by English colonists that for many years regulated women's lives in many states. Coverture laws were part of British common law. Coverture laws stipulated that a married woman was a sole legal entity with her husband.
