Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Encyclop�dia of Accounting, Vol. 4
J us Mariti At common law, prior to the passing of the Married Women's Property Act 1881, the whole personal or moveable estate of the wife, as well what belonged to her before marriage, as what she acquired during its subsistence, became the property of the husband on marriage. The right which was thus acquired was called jus mariti. The husband might renounce this right by marriage contract or by a deed clearly importing such renunciation, or by actings, from the facts and circumstances of which it could be inferred that he had surrendered his right.
