Presumed Guilty – A Women's History of Divorce 1945-1969 (1994x4)

: 09, 1994

In the decades leading up to reform of the divorce laws in 1969, thousands of women suffered the injustices of a system that treated a failed marriage as a criminal offence. In the second of three programmes this week on divorce, Timewatch tells the stories of some of these women, and the terrible price they paid to end their marriages.
