A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Covert baron (pronounced kuh-vurt bar-uhn) is a term from Law French that refers to the legal status of a married woman under common law. During marriage, a woman's legal existence is suspended or combined with that of her husband. She is under his protection and influence and is called a feme-covert or covert-baron.
