(1)The homestead shall be for the use of the widow as long as she occupies it, and the
unmarried infant children of the husband are entitled to a joint occupancy with her
until the youngest unmarried child arrives at full age. The termination of the
widow's occupancy shall not affect the rights of the children. The land may be sold,
subject to the right of the widow and children, if a sale is necessary to pay the debts
of the husband.
(2)The homestead of a woman shall, in like manner, be for the use of her surviving
husband and her children, situated as above. When the interest of the husband and
children ceases, the homestead shall be disposed of in like manner and the proceeds
applied on the same terms to her debts, or, if there are no debts, divided among her
children.
