Family Law-property-married women's property-married woman
cannot acquire property before 1933 independently of husband unless
separate estate-recital in deed of conveyance describing property
as separate raises rebuttable presumption in wife's favour: Where a
woman married before 1933 (when the Imperial Statutes (Law of
Property) Adoption Ordinance (now cap. 108) came into force has acquired property which is described in a recital of the deed of conveyance as having been bought by her out of money belonging to her for her sole and separate use, so as to make the property part of her separate estate, such a recital does not necessarily have
that effect but merely raises a rebuttable presumption in her favour.
