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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the view we take of the case, it is unnecessary to decide whether the doctrine is applicable in a divorce proceeding, a question expressly left open in Meeks v. Meeks [supra]. Assuming, without deciding, that it is applicable and broader than the doctrine of recrimination (Saltzgaver v. Saltzgaver, 182 Md. 624, 627 , 35 A. 2d 810 ), we think the rule could not be applied under the facts of this case.” Id. at 704 .”
