A married woman has the same natural right to acquire and hold property, and to make all contracts that she is mentally competent to make reasonably, as has a married man, or any other man.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A married woman has the same right to control her own body as does an unmarried woman.
The foolish and cruel notion that a wife is to obey her husband has sent more women to the grave than to the courts for a divorce.
What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.
As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
I believe marriage is a human right, not a state right.
When two people marry they become in the eyes of the law one person, and that one person is the husband.
If any difference should be made by law between husband and wife, reason, justice and humanity, if their voices were heard, would dictate that it should be in her favor.
The sanctity of a woman's right to control her own destiny is a moral force of its own... I came to realize that the question of choice is to be answered, not by the state, but by the individual.
A man may keep a woman, but not his estate.
I don't think marriage is a civil right, but I think that being able to transfer property is a civil right.
