Syllabus

<p>Community property—Purchasers—Marital rights.—The purchaser from the husband of laud acquired during marriage, the deed to which is made to the wife, is not thereby put upon inquiry as to any equity she might have in respect to it, but is protected, if he buys in ignorance of her claim to it as separate property.
