(7) At her husband's death, a widow may have her marriage portion and
inheritance at once and without trouble. She shall pay nothing for her
dower, marriage portion, or any inheritance that she and her husband
held jointly on the day of his death. She may remain in her husband's
house for forty days after his death, and within this period her dower
shall be assigned to her.

remain without a husband. But she must give security that she will not

lack of means, the debtor is unable to discharge his debt, his
sureties shall be answerable for it. If they so desire, they may have
