The western provinces abolished dower but replaced it with homestead rights.... Rights in the homestead include the right to refuse consent to a change of homestead or to its sale(sales made without consent are void), a life estate in the whole of the homestead to the surviving spouse, and certain immunity from seizure of the homestead by creditors.... Homestead rights give the wife somewhat better protection than does dower : during her husband's lifetime she can prevent the sale of the homestead completely; and if she survives him, she has an exclusive life interest in the whole of the homestead rather than the one-third interest of dower. Homestead rights are less cumbersome than dower-they do not affect other real property of the spouse. 5, record 5, English, - homestead%20right

Inviolability of residence is a topic which is still obscure. Some writers have contented for a rule that limits it to the embassy, the chancery and the ambassador’s house; others have extended it to the principal residence of the staff and to other embassy property, and others again would propose that all real estate owned by any diplomatic functionary shares it. 3, record 6, English, - immunity%20of%20domicile
