Muus v. Muus
Muus v. Muus was an 1879 court case in Holden Township, Goodhue County, Minnesota. Divorce in Minnesota's nineteenth century Norwegian-Lutheran community was a rarity. Legal separation between a leading pastor and his wife was unheard of. But a 1879 court case in Holden Township led to both those outcomes, and triggered a public debate about married women's legal rights.
