BATON ROUGE La.-There is
only one State in the union whore
women have the same political,
legal and civil rights as men. This
state is wisconsin. the first TO ratify
the nineteenth amendment which
granted suffrage 10 women. ana
which, on June p, 1921, took the
initiative In passing the woman's oil
Of rights by which women are made
equal with men under the law.
In every other State, discrimina-
tions against women exist, the in
qualities Of the laws of Louisiana
being. In this regard, most marked
and excessive.
Briefly summarized. women In
Louisiana have not the same rights,
privileges and immuniues under the
law as men with respect to the Toll
lowing:
Freedom Of contract the admins
tration, Investment and enjoyment
of community propertyi choice Of
domicile and residence; acquiring,
controlling, holding and conveying
property; making and receiving do
nations; care and custody OF ehii-
dren and control of earnings and
services Of such children; immuui-
ties and penalties for sex ohenses;
quarantine, examination and treat
ment OF diseases.
Hits Married Women.
one article of the revised civic
code states: "An persons have the
capacity to contract. except those
whose incapacity is specially de-
clared by law. These are persons of
insane mind, those who are inter
dicted, minors and married women"
, It would seem that women, no
matter how intelligent and capable,
become helpless and ignorant upon
marriage.
Another article reads: "A married
woman has no other domicile than
that OF her husband" and another,
"The wife is bound TO live with her
husband and TO follow him wherever
he chooses 70 reside
The court has ruled that even
when, by the marriage contract, the
wife has provided the domicile and
the husband accepts IL, ana ne re
moves to a distant place. establish
ing a residence at an hotel or board
ing house, such a residence becomes
the legal domicile Of tho wife
though she may never have entered
il or even be aware Of her husbands
whereabouts.
With regard to the guardianship
Of children, the inequalities of the
law are most pronounced In the
code "A child remains under the au-
thority OF his father and mother I'M
On his majority or emancipation. In
/ case of difference between the par
ents, the authority Of the father
prevails"
There are no laws upon our sta
tute hooks that so clearly exem-
plify the disabilities and discrimina-
tons against women as those affect
