Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>The minor’s marriage without the consent of her tutrix, .although in every respect legal, did not have the effect of emancipating her from the disabilities of minority. The mother’s kindness to her daughter and her son-in-law after the marriage, which has' no appearance of any Intention to condone the fact that her consent had not been sought or obtained, does not have the effect of supplying the want of consent of the mother and tutrix.</p> <p>Jurisprudence of this State, and of other States, of this country as well as for eign, has always attached importance to the consent which minors should obtain before their marriage.</p> <p>The court deals only with the question growing out of the failure of the minor to obtain the tutrix’s consent before marriage. Other issues are not brought before the court by the record so as to justify it to pass upon them.</p> <p>The min„r has not been emancipated and could not compel an accounting as asked by her.</p>
