Atar en corto a alguien

[ROBINDESBOIS]

It means to control sb, any equivalent in English?:yuck:

[JPablo]

to keep somebody on a tight rein
or (in American English) a tight leash

Maybe 'have somebody under one's thumb' (but that is more like "tener a alguien bajo la bota")

[Rusty]

keep on a tight leash :thumbsup:

[Perikles]

to be married :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[JPablo]

I guess basically from "mar" [to damage or spoil to a certain extent; render less perfect, attractive, useful, etc.; impair or spoil...] :wicked:
