A wife’s interest in the lands of her husband during his life, which may become a right of dower upon his death. A contingent claim or possibility of acquiring dower by outliving husband and arises, not out of contract, but as an institution of law constituting a mere chose in action incapable of transfer by separate grant but susceptible of extinguishment, which is effected by wife joining with husband in deed, which operates as release or satisfaction of interest and not as conveyance.

At common law, whenever a husband became seised(otherwise than as a joint tenant) of an estate of inheritance during coverture which issue of the marriage, if any, could inherit, the wife obtained an inchoate right of dower therein which became consummate on the husband's death survived by his wife. The dower right was a life interest in one-third of such freeholds of inheritance and constituted a clog on the husband's title even in his life-time.(Laskin, Revised Edition 1964, p. 72).  1, record 4, English, - dower%20right

A term variously defined as the right of the husband akin to the inchoate right of dower of the wife; the right of the husband in a jurisdiction in which the husband's right of curtesy is by statute the same as the right of dower, such right attaching the moment the wife becomes seized in fee simple during coverture; the doctrine that on the birth of issue, even though the husband has no greater interest in the wife's property during her life because of the "Married Woman's(sic) Act", he nevertheless has a potential life estate in his wife's real property conditional on his surviving her.(Ballentine's, 3rd ed., 1969, p. 599).  1, record 6, English, - inchoate%20curtesy
