consortium

consortium
At earlier common law, the status and rights of the husband arising from the marriage relationship, while "coverture" denoted the status and rights of the wife arising therefrom. But "consortium" has now come to mean the rights and duties of both husband and wife, resulting from the marriage, in other words, the marital rights and duties of the spouses inter se, the reciprocal rights and duties of society, companionship love, affection, aid, services, co-operation, sexual relations, and comfort, such being special rights and duties growing out of the marriage covenants. Hitaffer v Argonne Co. 87 App DC 57, 183 172d 811, 23 ALR2d 1366. Loss of consortium is not a bodily injury. 7 Am J2d Auto Ins § 212.
