Ok, look at it this way. My husband and I both own our home. Both our names are on the title deed and both on the mortgage.

Who's rights trump who's? He has more right to allow/disallow entry into our home than I do, or do I have more right to allow/disallow entry into my home than he does?

Look at it this way, I can not call the police and have them forcibly remove my husband from the home (outside of clear cut abuse) because I decide he's not welcome in my home anymore. He has the right to enter into his own home. He can't do the same to me either. So again, who's rights trump who?

I don't think it's so much a matter of "Who's rights trump who's?" as it is a matter of "Which rights trump which?"

The court decided that the right of one member of the party to forbid entry supercedes the other's right to allow it. It's not granting the husband more power than the wife. If the roles were reversed, then the wife's right to disallow entry would rule.
