Holding
The court held that a married woman possesses the legal capacity to enter into an executory contract for the conveyance of her separate property, provided the agreement is executed with the formalities prescribed by statute, and that such a contract, once validly made, is enforceable in equity through specific performance and may serve as an equitable defense in an action for ejectment.
