The entire west coast of the US used to follow community tradition.

The east coast followed the anglo separate property tradition.

It's very mixed on the west coast now due to population change though.

The problem even in this discussion flows from differences re rules, which anglos love — women must be x or y. They must do a or b.

Spanish societies, which anglos see as disordered and rule lacking due to community traditions, view the situation otherwise. Women aren't bound by rules per se. Good ones fill roles.

Tl;dr. Anglos want to force the thing into a form via public law and contract. Rules precede people. Spaniards do it via community and ex-communication. People can do what they want, subject to the whims of others.
