#Divorce by #combat, the #medieval way of ending a #marriage In medieval #Germany, #husbands and #wives could #settle their #disputes through #marital duels. The #man fought with one arm tied behind his back while in a hole, & the #woman wore weighted clothing and used a sack filled with rocks as her #weapon. If they couldn't resolve their differences peacefully, they would engage in the #duel. The consequences were severe: the #husband would be beheaded if he lost, and the #wife would be buried alive. #divorce #legaladvice #solicitors #solicitor #lawyers #lawyerlife #lawfirm #law #familylaw #attorney #lawyer #litigation #legal #courts #highcourt #judges #judiciary #justice #womeninlaw #womeninpolitics #bullying #genderequality #disputeresolution #financialadvice #financialsettlement #history #historymatters #historyfacts #historylovers #historymakers #historylesson #culturalawareness #culture #culturalheritage #societyandculture
