Document Summary
Two legal traditions: common and civil: some of the important ideologies: legal, religious, medical. Though legal not more important, has been important for other movements (concerned with civil status) Civil code (qc), common law: additional type of law = influential, canon law (religious law) Today divorce is available, but maybe not coherent in your culture: constance backhouse. Most women, one man away from poverty: assumes: women are cared for by men, applies always. Much in common: hegemonic, common/civil law, quebec civil code 1866. Coincides with creation of federation of canada under bna act of 1867. Marriage and divorce become federal and provincial matter. Quebec comes into federation with civil code: not an example of quebec exceptionalism, each province comes in with own civil code. Matrimonial causes act 1867: a wife"s adultery, or if can est. that husband committed adultery, etc, legal explicit double standard. Women found guilty of adultery of any kind, cannot reap any reward.
