Such a proceeding would have been extraordinary. The law ordains that daughters who have been given in marriage by their father and are living with their husbandsand who can judge better than a father what is to his daughter's interest?—in spite of the fact that they are thus married, shall, if their father dies without leaving them legitimate brothers, pass into the legal power of their next-of-kin; and indeed it has frequently happened that husbands have been thus deprived of their own wives.[*]
