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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Here it is shown that the wife did not institute or prosecute the action for divorce in which the former judgment was rendered, but that the petition was prepared or caused to be prepared by the husband, and all subsequent steps up to and including the preparation and entry of the judgment were taken at his instance and without knowledge upon the part of the wife. However, it does appear that the wife signed the petition, but she claims she did this under threats and duress of her husband and this occurred almost two years before the judgment was entered. It further appears that while she had some knowledge that the action was instituted and was pending, she had been assured by appellee and by the court that no judgment would be entered without her consent.””
