This is just an observation more than an opinion - you know how it's common knowledge that women had no power not that long ago and were kept under the boot of men?

His wife not only cheated on him, when he found out she arranged to have him arrested and thrown in prison, and then was seeking to imprison him for life. As far as the article says, absolutely nothing has happened to her as a consequence of this.

....to make money and provide for his family? Lots of people did back then and still do now.

He already had a clothing business that he left to his wife and kids. It was several years of him being mostly gone before this happened.

How dare she have him arrested for domestic abuse..?

She didn't have him arrested for domestic abuse - she fabricated a fake unpaid debt charge through her brother.

After she held him down and had him beaten with a red hit iron poker? He was a physically weak man "fighting" a much stronger woman. If a weak woman hit her husband and then he held her down and had her beaten, you think that would be ok?
