Code 1852, §§ 1469, 1614; 22 Del

The deed of a married woman executed by her during her coverture, concerning lands or tenements, shall be valid and effectual as if she were sole, if she acknowledges that she executed the deed. Such deed shall not bind her to any warranty except a special warranty against herself and her heirs, and all persons claiming by or under her, and no covenant on her part, of a more extensive or different effect in such deed, shall be valid against her, nor shall such conveyances by her divest, abrogate, or in any manner interfere with the husband’s estate by the curtesy should such estate attach.
