About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the intricate web of rules and exceptions comprising the prescription of rights against married women under the old Lower Canadian (Quebec) Civil Code, known as the Civil Code of Lower Canada. It situates this prescription within the legal, social, and economic structures of the time, providing a valuable glimpse into the legal position of women during that era. The author examines the various marital regimes under which women could find themselves—separated as to property, in community of property, or under dotal arrangements—and how these regimes affected their ability to exercise their rights and the extent to which prescription could run against them. The book also delves into the exceptions to the general rules of prescription, such as when a woman's action could only be exercised after a choice was made on the acceptance or renunciation of the community of property, or when her action against a third party would inevitably reflect upon her husband. By offering a comprehensive analysis of this complex subject, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the legal status of women in 19th-century Quebec and provides insights relevant to the study of women's rights and the history of law in Canada.
