At the time, women were prisoners of their husbands - if the husbands were so inclined. They could not inherit, their father's lands were assigned to the husband and they could not get custody of children in a divorce. Ever read A Doll's House? Ever read Charlotte Bronte? These works of literature did not come out of some angry bitch's imagination - they came out of the mind's of great men and women as products of the Enlightenment tradition.

That’s how the liberal propaganda line reads. And look at the results of attacking the traditional family, on any basis.
Mill is a century too late for the Enlightenment, as is Brontë. Mill’s economic theories were anti-capitalist and even socialistic; Brontë associated herself with people like Harriet Martineau, an associate of Charles Darwin whose views on the poor were called “Malthusian” by Tories of the era.

Women prisoners to their husband’s, that’s hogwash and feminist indoctrination.
A marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by God and is holy and acceptable in God’s sight.
