    In the late 18th century, Reverend John Stoddard of Connecticut sold his wife at a public auction for a shilling to highlight the inequality of divorce laws that allowed men but not women to end marriages. As a result of this stunt, Stoddard was dismissed from his church and lost his position. The article then discusses the history of divorce and marriage laws in Connecticut in the 1700s-1800s, which only allowed divorce by legislative act until 1843 when the state began allowing judicial divorce.
