Property and Marriage: The Law and the Practice in Early Nineteenth-Century Montreal
|
| Abstract |
A study of the use of marriage contracts in Montreal between the 1820s and the 1840s. During this period, a growing proportion of those signing such a contract chose to keep the property of each spouse separate rather than creating a community of property. In the 1820s, over a quarter of all such contracts made by couples who married in Montreal were in English. By the 1840s, a third were in English.
