Dueling was effectively outlawed in England by the early 19th century, with significant legal changes occurring after the passing of the Offences Against the Person Act in 1861. Prior to that, dueling had been discouraged through various laws and social pressures, particularly after the 18th century. The practice gradually declined due to the rise of legal consequences and societal disapproval. By the late 19th century, dueling had largely ceased as a socially accepted practice.
