False Advertising

"… all women of whatever age, rank, profession, or degree, whether virgins, maids, or widows, that shall… impose upon, seduce, and betray into matrimony, any of His Majesty’s subjects, by the scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high heeled [or] bolstered hips shall incur the penalty of the law in force against witchcraft … and … the marriage, upon conviction, shall stand null and void."

England, 1770
