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.
““Since the amendment to article 2334, R. C.C., by Act No. 186 of 1920, it is the law that, ‘when the title to community property stands in the name of the wife, it cannot be mortgaged or sold by the husband without her written authority or consent.’ “But the reverse of this is not true. In such case neither can the wife herself mortgage or sell the property without the authority and consent of her husband, since he is still ‘head and master of the * * * community.’ R.C.C., art. 2404.””
