Doctrine of coverture absorbs a married woman's legal identity, limiting property, contract and testimony rights.
The doctrine of coverture treated a married woman as a feme covert, merging her legal identity with her husband's so she could not independently hold property, execute legal documents, contract in her own right, retain earnings, or testify for or against her spouse; contracts between husband and wife were generally voided as implying separate legal existence.
