1. Law. With pl. concord. Articles of personal property, esp. clothing and ornaments, which (exceptionally at common law) did not automatically transfer from the property of the wife to the husband by virtue of the marriage. Now hist.
In most modern systems of law based on the Roman, paraphernalia bona (in French biens paraphernaux) means much the same thing as the Roman parapherna (cf. PARAPHERNA n.), but in English and Scottish Common law, under which all personal or movable property of a wife was vested ipso jure in the husband, the paraphernalia became restricted to such purely personal belongings of a wife as dress, jewels, and the like. While the husband retained legal possession of these, the wife had free use of them and retained them on her husband's death. But in neither England nor Scotland did paraphernalia strictly include articles like household furniture, even if these had been marriage presents to the wife. Since the Married Women's Property Acts of 1870, 1882, etc., the term has possessed little or no significance in English and Scottish legal practice.

Neil, FYI the OED is subscription only. You may want to find another source for the definition, or quote it at length. Miriam-Webster is free.
Oh! Thanks, Hope. Here's the oldest definition:
