Whose Wife Is She The Divorce Laws Of Three Countries
A New York divorce case reveals a wife whose marriages span England Canada and the United States. Annie Stewart, previously Annie Towers Tate, faced simultaneous questions of adultery and the validity of multiple divorces. The court weighed whether the English decree dissolved her marriage to Tate, affecting her union with William H. Stewart and her later Canadian marriage to Isaac Aves. The outcome hinges on whether the English order issued September 5 1680 or the earlier six month order nullified the Tate marriage. The case places Stewart against a wife whose legal status remains momentous while awaiting the supreme court ruling.
