triennial test

triennial test
The old rule of the English ecclesiastical courts known as the rule of triennial cohabitation, which required a husband and wife to live together for three years, and if at the end of that time the marriage remained unconsummated, or the wife appeared to be a virgin, impotence was presumed. In modern times in England the rule has been held not to apply where the court is satisfied of the husband's impotence by other evidence. Anno: 28 ALR2d 514, § 6. There is some American authority expressly rejecting, and other American authority, expressly adopting, the triennial test. Anno: 28 ALR2d 514, § 6; 24 Am J2d Div & S § 358.
