Show Scented Divorce In 1700 an act was passed by parliament which laid down that any woman, whatever her age and whether she be married, single or a widow, who by the use of perfume, per-fume, cosmetics, paint, false teeth, wigs, iron corsets, padded bust and hips, or high-heeled shoes, inveigles a male subject of his majesty into marriage, shall be guilty of having broken the law which prohibits the practicing of witchcraft and other arts of black magic, and any such marriage will be counted for null and void. |
