The Arkansas Advocate

Rights of Women.-A bill, —the general principle of which should be sustained by law in every State,— has been introduced into the N. York Assembly, "for the protection and preservation of the rights and property of married women." By the first section, the property, both real and personal, belonging to any woman at the time of her marriage, after the passage of this act, shall continue to be vested in her the same as before her coverture, and the income of her estate, shall not enure to the husband, during the life of the wife, without her consent. By the second section, the husband is entitled to so much of his wife's property, at her death, as by the laws of the State the widow is now entitled to at the time of his demise—in other words, he shall have dower. The third section prohibits married women from making conveyance to their husbands of any real or personal estate, except the income thereof, without the permission of the Chancellor.
