HC Deb 04 May 1944 vol 399 c1483W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Attorney-General if he will consider introducing legislation under which a British woman may retain her British nationality for purposes of divorce if married to a man not domiciled normally in Great Britain.

The Attorney-General

The jurisdiction of the court to entertain suits for divorce depends in our law upon domicile and not upon nationality. If my hon. Friend has in mind marriages to Dominion soldiers, I dealt with this point in my answer to-day to a question by the hon. Member for South Croydon (Sir H. Williams).
