1093 - Collusive recovery not to prejudice infant.

 1093. Collusive recovery not to prejudice infant. Where a widow, not
  having  a  right  to  dower,  recovers  dower  against an infant, by the
  default or collusion of his guardian, the infant shall not be prejudiced
  thereby; but when he comes of full  age,  he  may  bring  an  action  of
  ejectment  against  the  widow,  to  recover  the property so wrongfully
  awarded for dower, with damages from the  time  when  she  entered  into
  possession, although that is more than six years before the commencement
  of the action.
