Man and Wife is an 1870 novel by Wilkie Collins, aimed at highlighting injustices in the marriage law of the time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Anne Silvester is Blanche Lundie's governess, and her closest friend. But following an affair with the celebrated amateur sportsman Geoffrey Delamayn, she realises she'll be Defiled Forever unless she can get him to marry her. Since they're in Scotland, it'll be sufficient if they stay at a hotel together and address each other as husband and wife in front of the staff. At the last minute, Geoffrey is called away, and he sends his friend Arnold Brinkworth, Blanche's fiancé, to tell Anne what's happened. In order to keep up appearances, Arnold poses as Anne's husband for the night. Which means that in the eyes of the law, he might — or might not — now be married to Anne.Since Geoffrey would much rather marry a rich woman than the penniless Anne, it's obviously very much in his interest that Anne should legally be Arnold's wife. But how far will he go to bring that about?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Accidental Marriage: Two of them: Anne Silvester tries to arrange a private marriage with Geoffrey Delamayn under Scottish law, by having the two of them spend the night as husband and wife in a hotel. At the last minute Geoffrey is called away, and his friend Arnold finds himself having to pose as Anne's husband. But before that happened, Geoffrey and Anne wrote to each other expressing their intention to marry. Which means that Anne and Geoffrey were already married before Arnold went to the hotel. | |
