A house: an abode: in law, the place where a person has his home, or where he has his family residence and principal place of business. The constitution of domicile depends on the concurrence of two elements-1st, residence in a place; and 2d, the intention of the party to make that place his home. Domicile is of three kinds-1st, domicile of origin or nativity, depending on that of the parents at the time of birth; 2d, domicile of choice, which is voluntarily acquired by the party; and 3d, domicile by operation of law, as that of a wife, arising from marriage. The term domicile is sometimes used to signify the length of residence required by the law of some countries for the purpose of founding jurisdiction in civil actions; in Scotland, residence for at least forty days within the country constitutes a domicile as to jurisdiction.
