Rights of infant; consent of judge
Sec. 4. 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.
