Deletion of Wife

Comment: These articles were born out yet another  from Talk:Marriage. If it is a good idea to start splitting the article for length purposes, the way it should be done is not to create dicdefs and fill them with historical anecdotes, but to simply create a (set of) timeline(s) of marriage practices in different regions. This would be much more encyclopedic, and an appropriate title for one of these might be '''Marriage practices in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries''', for example. Filling up dicdefs with little historical tidbits is not the way to go about this. —&nbsp
