A French word for a system of regulations or rules. Regime dotal. In French law, the dot, being the property which the wife brings to the husband as her contribution to the support of the burdens of the marriage, and which may either extend as well to future as to present property, or be expressly confined to the present property of the wife, is subject to certain regulations, which are summarized in the phrase regime dotal. The husband has the entire administration during the marriage; but as a rule, where the dot consists of immovables, neither the husband nor the wife, nor both of them together, can either sell or mortgage it. The dot is returnable upon the dissolution of the marriage, whether by death or otherwise. Brown. Regime en communaute. The community of interests between husband and wife which, under French law, arises upon their marriage. It is either (1) legal or (2) conventional; the former existing in the absence of any agreement properly so called, and arising from a mere declaration of community, the latter arising from an agreement properly so called. Under such a community, the husband has the sole management and disposal of the property; but he cannot give them away for nothing, unless it should be for the advancement of the children of the marriage. This community is destroyed by a judicial separation de corps et de biens, and the wife recovers the free administration of her goods. Conventional community may be as diverse as the parties choose by their conventions to make it; these conventions most commonly regulating the amount of property which shall be held in common, excluding the after-acquired property from it, or making other such restrictive regulations. Brown.
