In 1845, the chief medical doctor of the county Baranya in southern Transdanubia published a book dealing with the region’s health and population problems. In it he addressed the matter of birth control in marriage:

In most Hungarian villages of the county, the young wives consider it a shame to bear in the first four or even ten years of their marriage, and even the healthiest and strongest women bear no more than two children ...

Many young wives hinder birth clandestinely and sinfully in order to maintain their beauty, while many others are induced by poverty to do this, because often three to four families have to live on a half plot of land .... They are taught methods of birth control by older people ... abortions are performed&dquo; (H61bling, 1845).
