Merger[edit]

Currently, this page introduces no information beyond what's present at Kirchberg v. Feenstra, and it seems unlikely to me that it will evolve far beyond that. In the context of a more in-depth discussion of that case, mention of the 2015 Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage seems reasonable; but in a separate stub article it comes across much more WP:COATRACK to me. Anyway, the general concept of a "head and master law" seems simple enough that it doesn't require a separate page for explanation - unless there are more examples to be discussed? 76.64.33.209 (talk) 08:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd think the history of these laws would exist somewhere and be enough to make this into a full article, unless it was very rare to explicitly codify coverture. As far as merger: I would think that the concept of patriarchial legal identity in general would have its own article somewhere, but I don't know what its name would be. I can't find it, though I've found articles on other subtopic of it: coverture (the common law subtopic), marital power (the civil law legal system subtopic), baron and feme (a subtopic of coverture). --Closeapple (talk) 12:37, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
