The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
In England, where a husband is convicted of an aggravated assault upon his wife, the court or magistrate may order that the wife shall be no longer bound to cohabit with him. Such an order has the same effect as a judicial decree of sum by the husband to the wife and for the custody of the children.
