Are you speaking of the Napoleonic laws that were enforced in some of the deep south until the early 1970's.?
Example would be that after marriage any money or property that the wife made or inherited belonged to the husband.? A husband could sell of property his wife inherited with out telling her, a woman had no right to any property or money from the husband unless he consented.?
Well she should have married in S.C.. In S.C. any money and anything a woman owned when she got married was hers and hers alone. Any money and anything else a man owned automatically became 1/2 "HERS". She could buy and or sale realestate without his permission or signature. He had to have her signature for real estate sales even if her name wasn't on the deeds.
DUmb bitches demanded equal rights and S.C. finally gave them their equal rights... in the mid 80's

....then they didn't like 'em but it was to late...

Now when a man marries, any money or realestate he brings to the marriage is his and his alone and if the marriage fails, he takes it with him and she gets none of it.....

They were one year to slow passing the equal rights for women in S.C. to do me any good though...

Sorry, but I learned my lesson. The current wife owns her diamond ring and the clothes/shoes in her closet...the rest, pots, pans furniture, etc. is all mine until I die...

....with age comes wisdom.
