The sections on England and Wales, India and France are sourced to an article in the out-of-copyright Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, which was produced in 1911, and are obviously completely out of date. They are tagged, and I believe they should be deleted, because they don't reflect the current legal situation in those jurisdictions.2A02:2F0F:B30C:9B00:3DCE:97D6:8A3E:E8CA (talk) 12:36, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
