New Rights for Wives Under Old Laws in State
The text outlines new rules allowing wives to waive dower rights in exchange for consideration, or contract regarding these rights. After a husband's death she may accept provisions in his will and even relinquish dowry at any age. She may hold and dispose of property, sue, and be sued as if unmarried, while the husband remains liable for household support. Bigamous conviction removes these rights.
