RADARES The that not, before 1882, be described as a happy one, yet insomuch as at Common Law they were always entitled to dower in lands of inheritance, unless barred in the conveyances by which the husband became possessed, it will be seen that though the wife's property on marriage practically became the husband's, yet this right of dower was a powerful one and extended to all lands, tenements and hereditaments to which the husband had become possessed during the continuance of the marriage tie, no matter whether the busband had allenated them before death or not. This Common Law right was found to work injustice to bond fide purchasers who took the property subject to dower and often found that the property which they had ́ purchased, after the death of the seller, WBS liable to grievous burdens. This therefore was altered by Statuary Law In 1833 (3 and 4 William IV. 10g) which made dower only apply to the lands possessed by the husband at the time of his death, and also It is not within the scope of this article enabled him by will to defeat the rights of to enter into the vexations quesilons dower.
