Explain your working.

Because in Victorian times a man could be punished if his wife committed a crime and it didn't stop anyone getting married.

That's the reality of old fashioned, pre-feminist male responsibility.

Yes but as with children you could punish your wife for misbehavior and society would also punish her.

Not from a prison cell you couldn't.
