MARRIED WOMEN’S PROPERTY ACT, 188a.— 45 & 46 Viet. ch. 75. Came into operation January 1, 1883. GEITEEAL SUMMARY. — The general effect of the Act Is that a married woman is placed in almost the same position as if she were unmarried as regards property and debts. She may sue in her own name without the concurrence of her husband, she may be sued, she may contract debts for which her husband will not be liable. A husband is liable for debts contracted by his wife before her marriage only to the extent of property he may have acquired with his wife. THI ACT. 1. (1.) A married woman shall, in accor- dance with the provisions of this Act, be capable of acquiring, holding, and dispos- ing by will or otherwise, of any real or per- sonal property as her separate property, in the same manner as if she were a feme sole, without the intervention of any trustee. (a.) A married woman shall be capable of entering into and rendering herself liable in respect of and to the extent of her separ- ate property on any contract, and of suing and being sued, either in contract or In tort, or otherwise, in all respects as if she were a feme sole, and her husband need not be joined with her as plaintiff or defendant, or be made a party to any action or other legal proceeding brought by or taken against her; and any damages or costs recovered by her in any such action or pro- ceeding shall be her separate property; and any damages or costs recovered against her in any such action or proceeding shall be payable out of her separate property, and not otherwise. (3.) Every contract entered into by a married woman shall be deemed to be a contract entered into by her with respect to and to bind her separate property, unless the contrary be shown.
