<p>OPINION ON REHEARING.</p> <p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Homesteads — Rights of. Surviving Widow in Homestead — Antenuptial Contract. The restrictions of the constitution and statutes touching the alienation of a homestead are for the protection of the family, and cannot be varied or avoided by an antenuptial contract providing that in case the wife survives the husband she is to have no part in his estate. Hence, so long as such surviving widow remains unmarried she may occupy the homestead regardless of such contract.</p>
