The detail that can be inferred from the passage that is not explicitly stated is:

Mrs. Mallard was not happy in her marriage to her husband.

This inference can be drawn based on the context of her reaction to the news of her husband's death and the feelings of freedom she experiences afterward, which suggest dissatisfaction with her marriage.
