FACTS
Interspousal immunity is a common law doctrine which prohibits spouses from suing each other. The married couple shares the same identity in law, specifically under the husband name. In Callow v. Thomas, the wife tried to file suit against husband but could not due to the relationship of the parties. Her husband was negligent while driving which caused an accident in which she was injured .The marriage was annulled because she tried to file her claim. Once marriage was annulled she was able to get money from the accident. Interspousal immunity doctrine was modified by The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in the case, Lewis v. Lewis, decided in 1978. The wife sued the husband for her injuries caused by negligent driving. Under M.G.L.A. c. 209 § 6, “a married woman may sue and be sued in the same manner as if she were sole; but this section shall not authorize suits between husband and wife except in connection with contracts entered into pursuant to the authority contained in section two.” In Brown v. Brown, the wife filed suit against her husband. He was in “control of the premises and responsible for sanding, salting or shoveling after a snowstorm, that his failure to do so caused the wife to fall, and that she suffered fractures and incurred medical expenses in excess of $2,500.” The facts of the case based on the cases prior cases before did “not trench remotely upon privileged or consensual aspects of married life.” The couple in this case had an agreement in which he would clear the walkway after a snow storm.
