SONENSHINE, J.
Respondent on petition for rehearing contends this court misinterpreted the law applicable in Strong v. Strong (1943) 22 Cal.2d 540 [140 P.2d 386] by stating, on page 991, ante, “wife had no present and equal interest” in the community property. However, respondent fails to note the property in Strong was conveyed to husband prior to the adoption of Civil Code section 161a.  “The rights of the husband and wife must be measured by the statutes in effect when the property was acquired . . . .” (Id., at p. 543.) The wife in Strong had no present and equal interest in the community property before the court.
Respondent’s petition for a hearing by the Supreme Court was denied March 14, 1984. Mosk, J., was of the opinion that the petition should be granted.
