No . ! : ? . A man with considerable property ,, and children of both sexes , leaves them by his will , share and share alike on the event of each of them attaining the age of twenty-one years , or being married , whichever may first happen ; but with this exception , that being displeased with his daughter A ' s attachment to B , if she marries him then sl * e forfeits all her share
m the patrimony , and her portion shall be equally divided among her brothers and sisters . After a while , however , lie changes his opinion , and they marry with his entire approbation ; but he dies without altering his will . This case was argued in one of our courts of law and thus decided—* ' that the father ' s consent to the match being subsequent to the date of the will entirely annulled the clause , which must have been
cancelled by himself had he not simply neglected to do it . " But supposing the will to express that if ever they marry she forfeits her claim to the property , and she remains single till she comes to age , and then receives her share as authorized by the event , and afterwards marries B , in direct
opposition to her father ' wishes ; how stands -the case in justice or equity ? Is she to keep possession of the property or to refund it ? Or would the executors be required to withhold the payment on her coming at a ^ e , in anticipation of the probability of the marriage taking place at any future period , as long as both the parties may continue to live , or to remain unmarried t
