Supreme Court of Pennsylvania March 16, 1874 (Brown v. Bennett)

The opinion of the court was delivered, March 16th 1874, by

Sharswood, J.

That a married woman has no capacity to contract for the sale of her real estate, or to convey it, except in the precise statutory mode conferring the power, is one of the best settled doctrines of our law. See the cases cited in the opinion of the present Chief Justice in Glidden v. Strupler, 2 P. F. Smith 402.
