A quick definition of jus mariti:

Term: JUS MARITI

Definition: Jus mariti is an old legal right in Scots law that allowed a husband to own all of his wife's movable property. This means that anything the wife owned that could be moved, such as money or furniture, would become the property of the husband once they were married. However, this right is no longer in use.

A more thorough explanation:

JUS MARITI

Jus mariti (pronounced juh-s mah-ree-tee or muh-ree-tee) is a legal term used in Scots law. It refers to an outdated right that allowed a husband to own all of his wife's movable property.

For example, if a woman owned a car before she got married, her husband would have the right to take ownership of the car under jus mariti. Similarly, if the woman inherited money from her family, her husband would have the right to claim that money as his own.

This legal concept is no longer in use, as it is considered unfair and outdated. Today, spouses have equal rights to their own property and can only claim ownership of joint property.

The examples illustrate how jus mariti allowed husbands to have complete control over their wives' property, which was seen as unfair and unjust.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
