“As the wife acts under the command and control of her husband, she is excused from punishment for certain offences, such as theft, burglary, housebreaking, etc., if committed in his presence and under his influence.” (Pg. 4) This law implies that the wife really has no independent thought and idea, and would simply go along with said crime simply because her husband said she must, removing her own opinion on the matter and turning her status in the crime into one akin of an item such as a getaway vehicle or a weapon. How could there be such a gross oversight of simple justice in a law that through reducing the person actually overprotects them and doesn’t even treat them like an accomplice?
