This question of what country shall one continue to belong to after marriage is one for settlement on high grounds of patriotism and civic duty before the marriage is consummated.
=Who Shall Choose the Domicile ?=--In the third place, the matter of chosen domicile is now up for discussion or may be in the near future.
The law from time immemorial has given the choice of residence of the family, wife as well as children, into the complete control of the husband and father.

A woman may be "posted" in the public press as "leaving her husband's bed and board," and thereby the husband may be released from any responsibility for her debts or support.

The inference is that married women have no rights in marriage that can survive independent choice on her part of a residence apart from the husband.

Now we have a movement that if successful would place the law behind an equal choice by married men and married women, of domicile, and of all that goes with that possible separation of residence.

There are those who declare that separate residence for husbands and wives might keep the flame of romantic love burning longer and more ardently, since "familiarity often breeds contempt" and the absence of the loved one often kindles desire.
