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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A review of the complaint shows allegations of 'seduction,' 'illicit relations,' and 'estranged . . . affections,' which [are] synonymous with and the equivalent of pleading adultery, criminal conversation, and alienation of affections. Stated another way, without the marriage contract no husband could bring an action based upon adultery, alienation of a wife's affections, or criminal conversation. All are inextricably intertwined.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“`. . . . "`... It is impossible to have an action based on adultery, alienation of a wife's affections, or criminal conversation, without a prior marriage contract. And when the Legislature abolished the former, it included by implication [an action based on] the latter.' "See, also, Norris v. Moskin Stores, Inc., 272 Ala. 174 , 132 So.2d 321 (1961).”
