Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>In an action to compel the defendant to accept a title tendered, the property, though in the name of plaintiff by title on the face, conveying it to her as dotal, was really not dotal, but paraphernal; and in consequence she had the right to sell it with the authorization of her husband. C. C. 2300.</p> <p>Although it was conveyed to her, plaintiff, by the father of her husband just prior to her marriage, the transfer was really that of her husband to her, because he was the creditor of his father, who sold him the property, but placed it in the name of his wife a day or two prior to the son’s marriage.</p> <p>It being a donation by the son to the plaintiff, who was about to become his wife, the property was paraphernal. C. C. 2338.</p>
