He became, further, upon the marriage, ab- solutely entitled to all her personal effects, and to all the debts owing to her, and other rights, which were reducible, and which he reduced into possession during the marriage. He became bound, on the other hand, to support her during the marriage, that is, during her or his life. He also became bound for her debts contracted before marriage ; but that liability lasted only as long as the marriage ; as soon as the marriage was at an end, his liabili...ty was at an end also. Whatever might be thought of this state of law, as regarded the wife, it was at all events, the law of a people which whom the marriage con- tract was once indissoluble, and if dissoluble now, was only so for the greatest breach of it by the wife, or at her express instance, and not by the party, but by a Court of Justice. But according to the Maho- metan law and Mahometan usage, marriage was a contract dissoluble at the will and pleasure of the husband, and dissoluble by himself.
