White, C. J.,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. The statute says: “The homestead is subject to . . . forced sale in satisfaction of judg*620merits obtained (1) on debts secured by mechanics’, laborers’, or vendors’ liens upon the premises; and (2) on debts secured by mortgages upon the premises executed and acknowledged by both husband and wife, or an unmarried claimant.” § 40-103, R. R. S. 1943. “The homestead of a married person cannot be conveyed or encumbered unless the instrument by which it is conveyed or encumbered is executed and acknowledged by both husband and wife . . ..” § 40-104, R. R. S. 1943. (Emphasis supplied.)
I think the statute means what it says.
