Family Law
Are diamonds forever?
Historically, in the jurisdiction of England and Wales, the Married Women’s Property Act 1870 provided that a woman owning jewellery provided by her husband remained his, because all he was doing was decorating his wife, akin to baubles on a Christmas tree…Such an Act of Parliament was thankfully short-lived and was repealed by the Married Women’s Property Act 1882.
