A MENSA ET THORO

A mensa et thoro is a Latin term that means "from table and bed." It refers to a legal separation between a married couple where they live apart but are not divorced.

John and Jane have decided to separate but not divorce. They will live apart and divide their assets, but they will not be free to marry other people. This is a mensa et thoro separation.

Another example is when a couple decides to separate due to irreconcilable differences but wants to maintain certain legal benefits, such as health insurance or tax benefits. They may choose to have a mensa et thoro separation instead of a divorce.

A mensa et thoro separation is a legal arrangement where a married couple decides to live apart but remain legally married. This can be for various reasons, such as religious beliefs or financial benefits. The term "from table and bed" refers to the fact that the couple will no longer live together or share a bed, but they may still have some financial or legal ties. The examples illustrate how a mensa et thoro separation can be used in different situations where a couple wants to separate but not divorce.
