§ 32-22-1-4 — Rights of infant; consent of judge

A judge may give consent under section 3 of
this chapter to a conveyance or mortgage and to any note secured by
the mortgage, agreement, or contract if the judge determines that it
would benefit the person described in section 3 of this chapter and that
it would be prejudicial to the spouse of the person if the execution of
the instrument were prevented. The judge shall endorse the judge's
consent on the instrument and sign it, and the instrument so certified
is valid for all purposes as if the married person were at least eighteen
(18) years of age. However, the judge has the power, in the judge's
discretion, to examine witnesses concerning the propriety or necessity
of executing the instrument.
