The Langworthy Marriage Controversy
A London Pall Mall Gazette exposé details a notorious case of a educated but poor governess who marries a rich man Edward Martin Langworthy on the Continent. He later fabricates a second sham ceremony to silence her, an act described as illegal, and then abandons her after a voyage to South America. The scandal provokes debate on England's marriage laws and demands reforms.
