Equal rights shift in marital debt from Fort Worth case
Chief Justice W S Fly writes that a married woman who incurs debts without her husband’s consent must pay or creditors suffer. The Tarrant County case on an $11 000 note and mortgage shows the law changing as women gain rights, freeing husbands from liability and allowing women to bear debts. The Fredericksburg Standard notes the broader political and domestic rights shift while a local editor critiques propaganda in papers and mocks artificial beauty ads.
