LEGAL DETERMINATIONS
 AGAINST WOMEN

Alabama's laws, like those of near ly all the other states, are based on the old English common law. All women were, according to the com mon law, inferior to men. The hus- band and the wife were one, and that one was the husband. He owned the wife's personal property, her labor and the children.
 In Alabama, mothers are not equal guardians of their children; fathers can will away children from the mothers: grounds for divorce are not equal for men and women; women are debarred from jury service; ln- heritance laws discriminate against married women. The wife's share of her husbands estate is life interest in from one-third to one-half of her husbands lands, and from one firth to all of her husbands personal prop erty (distributive shares). The hus- bands legal share in his wife's es- tate amounts to a life interest in all her lands and not one less than half her personal property. If the wife has property of her own of equal or greater value than her legal interest in her husbands estate, she receives nothing except the use of a home stead (valued at $2,000) and a small amount of personal property. The husband, on the other hand, is enti- tied to- his share in his wife's estate po- matter how much or how little property he owns.
 Alabama is not one of the II states which defines prostitution as an act both of the man and woman. In Ala bama law any person who is prosti- tute (only a woman is considered a prostitute) Is vagrant and may be punished by fine and Imprisonment. A man who employs a girl for the purpose of prostitution is punished only when thetgirl is under IS years of age.
