Jocelynne A. Scutt & Di Graham. Includes Index. Bibliography: P. [167]-184.
This work investigates the intersection of legal frameworks, economic power, and marital status to determine how property rights influence the stability and equality of domestic partnerships. Jocelynne A. Scutt, a legal scholar and human rights advocate, utilizes historical case law and legislative analysis to argue that traditional property structures often disadvantage women within the institution of marriage. The text examines how shifting legal definitions of ownership and contribution have historically failed to account for non-monetary labor, thereby perpetuating economic dependency.
