From this paper

The High Courts are informed by sections 22, 23, 24, 25 and 48 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 when faced with a petition for divorce, nullity and judicial separation as well as issues of Legitimacy of children. Discuss. ((40 Marks))
The doctrine of unity of husband and wife was dismissed as a medieval fiction to be given no more credence than the medieval belief that the earth is flat. Today either the husband of wife can petition the high courts under section 17 of the Married Women Property Act 1882. Discuss this with respect to the applicability of section 17 of MWPA 1882.
