What is the difference between a woman's status as a spouse and that of her husband under the Charter of Human Rights?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ferguson v. Armbrust, 2000 SKQB 219 (CanLII):
The applicant submits that this distinction is based on the analogous ground of marital status, an irrelevant personal characteristic. She relies on the decision of McLachlin J. (as she then was) in Miron v. Trudel, 1995 CanLII 97 (SCC), [1995] 2 S.C.R. 418 as support for her assertion that marital status is an analogous ground worthy of equal protection under the Charter.
