*155DISSENTING OPINION OF
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE HERNANDEZ, IN WHICH MR. JUSTICE ALDREY CONCURRED.By a public deed executed in Bio Piedras on September 20,1920, before notary ITeriberto Torres Sola, Bernardo Rosa y Cuadrado and bis son Francisco Rosa y Lienza, an emancipated minor, sold to Román Félix and Dominga Maldonado a property which they owned in common, and by another deed of the 22nd of the same month the grantees created a mortgage on the same property in favor of the grantors to secure a loan of $5,000.
Both deeds were presented for record in the Registry of Property of San Jnan, Section 1, and the registrar refused to record the deed of sale as to the interest of the emancipated minor. The pertinent part of his decision of November 29, 1920, reads as follows:
“After examining the act-of emancipation and another writing attesting that Román Félix is married to Dominga Maldonado, the preceding deed is admitted to record only as to the interest conveyed by Bernardo Rosa Cuadrado * '* *. Admission to record of the transfer made by the emancipated minor of his interest is denied because the appearance and acts of said Bernardo Rosa set out in the said deed refer only to the sale of his interest in common and do not show that he gave his consent to his emancipated son, also a vendor, as provided for by section 307 of the Civil Code as amended on March 8, 1906, * * * ”
That decision was appealed from to this court by grantee Román Félix, but the decision with regard to the mortgage is not included in this appeal. The appellant alleges in support of a reversal that section 307 of the Civil Code has been complied with in the deed of September 20, 1920, for it appears therefrom that Bernardo Rosa y Cuadrado gave his consent to the said conveyance by his emancipated minor son, Francisco Rosa y Lienza, of his common interest.
Section 307 of the Civil Code provides that an emancipated minor can not “encumber or sell his real property, *156■without the consent of his father, or in default thereof, that of his mother, and in the proper case, that of his tutor.” The statute is clear and the only question in this case is whether by executing the deed of purchase and sale Bernardo Rosa gave his consent to the sale of the common interest belonging to his emancipated minor son, Francisco Rosa y Lienza.
The deed shows that before the notary appeared Bernardo Rosa y Cuadrado and his son Francisco Rosa y Lienza of one part and Román Félix and Dominga Maldonado of the other part; that Bernardo and Francisco Rosa were owners in common and in equal shares of the property sold; that the sale was made for the sum of $2,000 which the grantors received from the hands of the grantees; that all the parties accepted the deed under the terms therein contained, and that they agreed to it and ratified its contents.
The text of the deed does not disclose that Bernardo Rosa y Cuadrado gave his son Francisco Rosa y Lienza the consent required by law, for although they both appeared together before the notary and made the sale and received the price jointly, each of them acted in his own behalf and the father made no statement regarding his consent to the sale by his son of his common interest.
The acceptance, agreement and ratification made by all of the parties, both grantors and grantees, refer to each one of them as to their own individual interests. There was no adhesion of the father to the will of the son, nor mutual meeting of minds for the sale of the son’s interest. Father and son acted with full independence, each selling his interest without participating in the other’s sale. We have no doubt that the father had knowledge of the conveyance being made by his son, but we are positive that he did not give his consent to it. It may be said that he did not object to the conveyance, but it is impossible to conclude that he *157consented to it or approved it. The intention of the legislators in requiring the consent of the father, mother or tutor to the alienation of real property of an emancipated minor is that the person who must give his consent may pass upon the act of alienation by the minor and decide to give it or refuse it as the interests of the minor may demand. It seems that the father in this case acted with regard to his son on the theory that his consent was not necessary, for otherwise he would have expressly given it if he desired that the minor’s conveyance should have legal effect. The deed could have been executed in the same terms if section 307 of the Civil Code had not existed. And the mortgage afterwards created by the grantees on the property in favor of the grantors argues nothing in favor of compliance with section 307 of the Civil Code in the execution of the deed of purchase and sale.
For the foregoing reasons we dissent from the majority opinion of this court and are of the opinion that the decision appealed from should have been affirmed.
