Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“.“The question then is: Does the consent of the parent under the Idaho statute, in order to make the marriage valid, have to be written and acknowledged as provided in section 31-202, supra, [essentially similar to sec. 5712, Rev. Codes of Montana] or is the marriage valid where the parents had actually consented even though the consent was not written? “The requirement of written and acknowledged consent, as required by section 31-202 of the Idaho Laws, supra, has been held in cases considering similar statutes to be applicable only to the issuance of the license, and simply directory to the clerk who issues the license, and the lack of such written and acknowledged consent does not affect the validity of the marriage.” (Citing cases.) See also, 35 Am. Jur., sec. 23, p. 195; 38 C. J., secs. 73, 74, pp. 1306, 1307; Vaughn v. Vaughn, 62 Cal. App. (2d) 260, 144 Pac. (2d) 658 .”
