Abstract
This chapter presents a case study on clandestine marriage conducted in the Fleet Prison in England in April 1691. The marriage was between Moll Hawkins and John Vyse, who was then still no more than eighteen years old and an undergraduate at Cambridge University. In 1713, Mary filed a suit in an ecclesiastical court asking the Fleet parson Reverend John Vyse to provide financial support for their children and requested a separation on grounds of his adultery with Jane Robbins. The court ruled in favour of Mary.
