This Second Appeal arises from the decree of the Subordinate Judge, Kumbakonam, in A.S. No. 79 of 1955, reversing the decree of the District Munsif, Kumbakonam, in O.S. No. 122 of 1954. The plaintiff is the appellant. The plaintiff filed a suit to recover possession of the suit properties together with mesne profits. The defendant is her mother’s sister. The defendant has a son by name A. D. Sultan Rowther, who has not been evidently fortunate in his married life. He first married a wife and divorced her after a few months. He then married a second wife and divorced her in about a year. Eight months thereafter the plaintiff was married to him. Evidently there was some difficulty in getting a suitable bride for Sultan Rowther. On the eve of the marriage a settlement by way of gift of the suit properties was made by the defendant to the plaintiff, her sister’s daughter. That settlement was undoubtedly made in consideration of the marriage. Exhibit B-1 is the settlement deed executed by the defendant in favour of the plaintiff on 22nd June, 1948. The document was registered on 24th June, 1948, on which date the marriage of the plaintiff with her cousin brother Sultan Rowther
