life, while establishing the husband's right to decide in family problems.
The German code states that these two rules do not apply if the husband misuses the rights given to him; in such a case the husband loses his authority and the wife regains her legal personality.
In Britain and Northern Ireland, the spouses stand on an equal footing in the various family duties and rights, except for the choice of the place of residence, which is left to the husband alone. If the wife refuses to reside with her husband — a refusal resting on no reasonable ground — she may be convicted of deserting her husband. The law also provides that the wife has no right, in any circumstance whatever, to dwell in a house of her own, even if her husband has deserted her; and it provides that the husband undertakes the support of his wife, though the wife must undertake to provide for her spouse if she has an independent income and he is in need of assistance.
The law in the United States of America differs somewhat from the codes just mentioned, for it obliges the woman to keep to her husband's house, while allowing her to take a dwelling of her own if she has resorted to the courts to divorce him. The husband, in choosing the family home, must take his wife's good into consideration. And there are a number of American states whose laws permit the wife to dwell in a house of her own in certain exceptional cases.
The husband in the United States of America is, by law, responsible for supporting his wife; yet some of these states oblige the woman to support her spouse out of her own income if he is poor or unable to support himself.
In Sweden, the two spouses share the duty of providing for the family. However, the wife may be exempted from contributing to these expenses in return for her performance of the household work.
The two spouses in the Soviet Union enjoy an equal position in their personal relations, including the choice of the place of residence.
In Yugoslavia the spouses' rights are equal, and they share in bearing the family's expenses. As for residence, each of them has the right, if he so wishes, to choose the home that pleases him. And while Yugoslav law imposes on the woman the duty of caring for her husband and helping him, it does not impose on her the duty of obedience.
