Home Dictionary Name: domiciledDomicile
Domicile, the place where a person has his home.By the term 'domicile,' in its ordinary acceptation, is meant the place where a person lives or has his home. In this sense the place where a person has his actual residence, inhabitancy, or commorancy, is sometimes called his domicile. In a strict and legal sense, that is properly the domicile of a person where he has his true fixed permanent home and principal establishment, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning (animus revertendi).Two things, then, must concur to constitute domicile: first, residence; and secondly, the intention of making it the home of the party. There must be the fact and intent; for, as Pothier has truly observed, a person cannot establish a domicile in a place except it be animo et facto.From these considerations and rules the general conclusion may be deduced, that domicile is of three sorts: domicile by birth, domicile by choice, and domicile by operation of law. The first is the ...
Domicile and residence
Domicile and residence, etymologically, 'residence' and 'domicile' carry the same meaning, inasmuch as both refer to the permanent home, but under Private International Law, 'domicile' carries a little different sense and exhibits many facets. In spite of having a permanent home, a person may have a commercial, a political or forensic domicile. 'Domicile' may also take many colours; it may be domicile of origin, domicile of choice, domicile by operation of law or domicile of dependence. In Private International Law domicile' jurisprudentially has a different concept altogether, Union of India v. Dudh Nath Pandey, AIR 2000 SC 525 (532): (2002) 2 SCC 20.In spite of having a permanent home, a person may have a commercial, a political or a forensic domicil, Union of India v.

Place of birth, domicile
Place of birth, domicile, the term 'place of birth' occurs in clause (1) of Article 15 but not 'domicile'. If a comparison is made between Article 15(1) and Article 16(2) of the Constitution of India, it would appear that whereas the former refers to 'place of birth' alone, the latter refers to both 'domicile' and 'residence' apart from place of birth, Saurabh Chaudri v. Union of India, (2003) 11 SC 146 (162). [Constitution of India, Art. 15(1)]...

Abode
Abode, habitation or place of residence; stay or continuance. In law it is used in different senses, to denote the place of a man's residence, or business, temporary or permanent. For some purposes in law a man may be deemed to have an 'abode' where he has a place of business, even although he reside elsewhere, or where he has a temporary residence, although his permanent residence is elsewhere or even abroad. But 'abode' or residence is quite distinct from domicil, which means much more than even a place of permanent residence (see DOMICIL); whereas it would seem that 'abode' does not even necessarily imply that. 'Abode' seems larger and looser in its import than the word 'residence,' which in strictness means the place where a man lives, i.e., where he sleeps or is at home. 'A man's residence, where he lives with his family and sleeps at night, is always his place of abode in the full sense of that expression', R. v. Hammond, (1852) 17 QB 781, per Lord Campbell, C.J. Consult Stroud, ...
Bastard
Bastard [fornication], one born not of lawful marriage. [(English) Age of Marriage Act, 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. 5, c. 36)]The civil and canon laws did not allow a child to remain a bastard if the parents afterwards intermarried, but a proposal by the bishops to assimilate the law of England to the canon law in this respect was rejected by Parliament in 1235. See MERTON, STATUTE OF. The law of England remained thus for nearly 700 years, until the Legitimacy Act, 1926 (16 & 17 Geo. 5, c. 60), legitimated a child born out of wedlock upon the subsequent marriage of parents if they were domiciled in England or Wales at the date of marriage. See LEGITIMATION. In Scotland, however, and in most other Christian countries, including most, if not all, of the British Dominions, and most, if not all, of the United States of America, legitimation of the children has always followed the intermarriage of the parents.The mother of a bastard cannot validly contract with another person for the transfer to tha...
