Marriage settlement
Marriage settlement, an arrangement made before marriage, and in consideration of it (the highest consideration known to the law), whereby real or personal property is settled for the benefit of the husband and wife and the issue of the marriage. There is an express saving for such a settlement in s. 19 of the (English) Married Women's Property Act, 1882, and see the (English) Married Women's Property Act, 1907 (7 Edw. 7, c. 1), invalidating a settlement made by a female infant unless confirmed after attaining 21, but without prejudice to settlements under the Infants Settlement Act, 1855 (see post, MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY).Although the policy of the land legislation of 1924 was to assimilate the law of real property to that of personalty as far as possible, marriage settlements of land (not being effected by way of trust for sale), and if providing for infant or for a succession of interests in land or charging land (but in this case subject to the (English) Law of Property Amendment...
Husband and wife
Husband and wife. the Common Law treated them, for most purposes, as one person, giving, with exceptions comparatively unimportant, the whole of a woman's property to her husband for his absolute use, and a husband could not make a grant to his wife at the Common Law, though he might do so: (1) under the Statute of Uses, by granting an estate to another person for her use; (2) by creating a trust in her favour; (3) by the custom of particular places; (4) by surrendering copyholds to her use; and (5) by will.Equity, however, from very early times, by the doctrines of 'separate use,' 'trusts,' and 'equity to a settlement,' very largely modified the Common Law in favour of the wife; and the statute law has, by s. 1 of the Law Reform (Married Women and Tortfeasors Act), 1935 (25 & 26 Geo. 5, c. 30), almost completely abolished the property distinction between an unmarried and a married woman. See MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY.At Common Law, a gift of either realty or personal-ity to a husband a...

Separate estate
Separate estate. The Common Law did not allow a married woman to posses any property independently of her husband, but when property was settled to her separate use and benefit, equity treated her, in respect to that property, as a feme sole, or unmarried woman. A wife's separate property might be acquired by a pre-nuptial contract with her husband, or by gift, either from the husband, or from any other person. the (English) Married Women's Property Act, 1882 (see MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY), almost abolished the Common Law distinction between married and unmarried women in respect of property, and the amending (English) Act of 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 63) provided (s. 1) that:-1. Every contract hereafter entered into by a married woman otherwise than as agent,(a) shall be deemed to be a contract entered into by her with respect to and to bind her separate property whether she is or is not in fact possessed of or entitled to any separate property at the time when she enters into such contr...
