Etymology[edit]
Noun[edit]
- (law, historical) divorce from bed and board, legal separation (court decision or officially recorded agreement terminating a relationship between husband and wife, but short of a divorce)
Usage notes[edit]
- This legal concept was present in the law of 1734 in which it was prescribed as a punitive measure to coerce spouses to mutual agreement. In present-day usage, an informal arrangement between spouses to live separately is asumusero.
