payment of such expenses. If, at the time of the injury she is engaged
in a separate business, and death results, the husband may still recover
for loss of society and expenses, but an action for damages can be
brought only by the administrator of her estate. Although husband or
wife may maintain an action against the other for the recovery of
property, neither has a right of action for damages sustained by the
infliction of personal injury, and this is true even though the one
inflicting the injury has been criminally convicted and fined for the
assault.

[Sidenote: Property of one not liable for debts of the other.]

Neither husband or wife is liable for the debts or liabilities of the
other incurred before marriage, and except as herein otherwise declared,
they are not liable for the separate debts of each other; nor are the
wages, earnings, or property of either, nor is the rent or income of
such property liable for the separate debts of the other [§3403.] The
husband is liable for necessaries furnished the wife, upon an implied
obligation to provide for her a reasonable support. The term
"necessaries," is not confined to the supply of things actually demanded
for her sustenance, such as food, clothing and medicine, but includes
all that may be needful for her comfort and happiness according to her
rank and station in society. In determining the extent of the husband's
liability, it is always proper to consider the wife's social position
and the circumstances and condition of the family, and these will, of
course, vary in each particular case. It has been held that jewelry is
included in the term necessaries and that attorney's fees in divorce
proceedings by the wife, can be recovered from the husband. If the wife
is compelled to leave her husband because of cruel and improper conduct
