I like "a woman abandoned by her husband" for "mulher abandonada".
But does "mulher largada do marido" mean that, or is it the opposite? I'm unsure.
PPaulo, that's another one of those funny word forms: estranged in place of stranged.

Henry, in my opinion:
"Mulher largada do marido" is or was a derogatory term used for "(estranged wife) mulher separada", implying that the woman was to blame for the breakup, that’s why she suffers prejudice in society, so that they do not rent her a house.
It would have a much clearer sense if said: mulher largada “pelo” marido.
Bye!

Zumstein, your English is very good! Yes, I was thinking about that preposition choice in Portuguese. Your explanation makes sense to me.

Oops, I did it again!
Impressed here, Zumsteim, I would say your Portuguese certainly is better than mine!
Thanks Henry, maybe it was the influence of that UK´s new fad that is phonics in school, he he.

Now I will be more cautious when it comes to s/es sounds, I promise.
And I am relieved that I didn´t write "strangled"...one wouldn´t be surprised at all, the way I am these days!
Thanks for noticing, and for your participation.
Ah, "largada pelo marido" would be the standard Portuguese, but you would/will hear "mulher largada do marido." (even tough not being the right way.)
Of course, I am not suggesting that we have to learn the wrong way, just that sometimes it happens, and I have travelled/lived in many places, so it´s as if I had to learn things like this. it´s more commom than some people may think.
