EFFECT OF MARRIAGE.--By marriage the wife enters the house of the husband. A man who marries a woman who is head of a house, or a _mukoyoshi_, enters the house of his wife. A _mukoyoshi_ is a person who is adopted by another and at the same time marries the daughter of the house who would be the heir to the headship of the house. A wife is bound to live with her husband. A husband must permit his wife to live with him. A husband and wife are bound to support each other. When the wife is a minor the husband, if of full age, exercises the functions of a guardian. A contract made between husband and wife may be cancelled at any time during the marriage by either party, but without prejudice to the rights of third persons. DIVORCE BY MUTUAL CONSENT.--The husband and wife may effect a divorce by mutual consent. No court procedure is necessary. Just as in giving notice of marriage, the parties consenting to be divorced give notice of such agreement to the registrar, and they are _ipso facto_ divorced. A person who has not reached the age of twenty-five years, in order to effect a divorce by mutual consent, must obtain the consent of the person or persons whose consent was necessary for the marriage. If a husband and wife have effected a divorce by mutual consent without arranging as to whom the custody of the children shall belong, it belongs to the husband. JUDICIAL DIVORCE.--A husband or wife, as the case may be, can bring an action for divorce for the following causes: 1. If the other party contracts a second marriage. 2. If the wife commits adultery. 3. If the husband is sentenced to punishment for an offence specified in Article 348 _et seq._ of the Criminal Code; such offences involving criminal carnal sexuality. 4. If the other party is sentenced to punishment for an offence greater than misdemeanor, involving forgery, bribery, gross sexual immorality, theft, robbery, obtaining property by false pretences, embezzlement of goods deposited, receiving knowingly stolen goods, or any of the offences specified in Articles 175 and 260 of the Criminal Code, or is sentenced to a major imprisonment or more. 5. If one party is so ill-treated or grossly insulted by the other that it makes further living together of the spouses impracticable. 6. If one party is deserted by the other. 7. If one party is ill-treated or grossly insulted by an ascendant of the other party. 8. If an ascendant of one party is ill-treated or grossly insulted by the other party. 9. If it has been uncertain for three years or more whether or not the other party is alive or dead. 10. In the case of the adoption of a _mukoyoshi_, if the adoption is dissolved, or in the case of a marriage of an adopted son with a daughter of the house, if the adoption is dissolved or cancelled.
