Divorced in 1880? - Damita Green

On the 1880 Federal Census form, under maritial status it has listed 
married, single, divorced or widowed. I've found a family with the head of 
household (female) listed as divorce, with her spouse listed a  few pages 
back as married.  I thought divorce wasn't legal in SC until late 1940's 
early 1950's?  Can someone provide an explanation?

Confused,
Damita
