COMMENT: The California § 370 was amended to make this Section applicable to both spouses. Guam has enacted, in P.L. 14-28 as Government Code 1104, the local equivalent of the failed federal constitutional “Equal Rights Amendment”, with instructions that all laws should be read in light of this new public law.
