Syllabus

<p>Married women — Principal and surety — Judgment.</p> <p>The power of a married woman to become guarantor or surety for another is forbidden; but under the law a judgment given by a married woman not appearing on its face to be affected by statutory exceptions to her power, is prima facie valid ; and the burden of proving its invalidity rests upon those who would annul it.</p> <p>Where the court below finds from sufficient, although contradictory, evidence, that a judgment against a married woman was not given by her as surety for her husband, the appellate court will not review the finding, if there is no abuse of discretion shown.</p>
