QUOAD MARITUM
Quoad maritum is a Latin term that means "with regard to the husband." It is often used in historical contexts.
1. In the 19th century, women had limited legal rights quoad maritum. They were not allowed to own property or make decisions without their husband's permission.
2. The court ruled that the wife was entitled to a portion of the estate quoad maritum, as she had contributed to the family's wealth during the marriage.
The examples illustrate how quoad maritum was used in legal contexts to refer to the rights and responsibilities of a wife in relation to her husband. In the first example, it shows how women were disadvantaged quoad maritum in terms of legal rights. In the second example, it shows how quoad maritum was used to determine the distribution of assets in a divorce settlement.
