the like penalties.[341] [341] _Code of N. C._ (1883), I, 696, 700; and _Laws_ (1893), chap. 153, pp. 114-16, amending _Laws_ (1871-72), chap. 193, sec. 44. By the law of the District of Columbia, "in case of adultery of the wife, committed after ... divorce from bed and board, the court may, on petition of the husband ... deprive the wife of alimony from the date of her said criminal act, and rescind her right of dower, as well as dispossess her ... of the care, custody, and guardianship" of any child awarded to her by the original judgment: _Comp. Stat._ (1894), 277. _Cf._ MOORE, _Code_, 201. In Missouri a divorce obtained by the wife is considered in law as the death of the husband, and she is looked upon as his widow; but when at fault she is barred of dower.[342] The guilty wife loses her right of dower also in Tennessee; and there she cannot claim permanent alimony. In the same state, when divorce is for the wife's infidelity, and the woman afterwards cohabits with her paramour, she is made "incapable of alienating, directly or indirectly, any of her lands;" and after her death these are to be distributed according to the rules of intestate inheritance.[343] Dower is barred by grant of permanent alimony in Georgia;[344] and in Louisiana, in case of separation from bed and board, the defendant loses "all the advantages or donations" which the plaintiff "may have conferred by the marriage contract or since," while the latter preserves all those to which he or she would otherwise have been entitled; and these dispositions are to take place even when the advantages and donations were "reciprocally made."[345] [342] _Rev. Civil Stat._ (1889), I, 1036. _Cf._ 61 _Mo._, 148; and 57 _Mo._, 200; 3 _M. A._, 321. [343] _Code of Tenn._ (1884), 616, 617. "If the wife, at the time of a decree dissolving the marriage, be the owner of any lands, or have in her possession goods or chattels or choses in action acquired by her own industry or given to her by devise or otherwise, or which may have come to her, or to which she may be entitled by the decease of any relative intestate, she shall have entire and exclusive dominion and control thereof, and may sue for and recover the same in her own name subject, however, to the rights of creditors who became such before the decree was pronounced." When "a marriage is dissolved at the suit of the husband, and the defendant is owner, in her own right, of lands, his right to and interest therein and to the rents and profits of the same, shall not be taken away or impaired by the dissolution."--_Ibid._, 616, 617. _Cf._ SHANNON, _Code_ (1896), 1050. [344] _Code of Ga._ (1896), II, 237; and 43 _Ga._, 295. But in case of _bona-fide_ separation without divorce alimony may be granted: _Code_ (1882), 401: _ibid._ (1896), II, 235. [345] _Rev. Civil Code_ (1888), 72, 73; _ibid._ (1870), 20.
