A quick definition of dos rationabilis:

Dos Rationabilis: This is a legal term that refers to a wife's right to a life estate in one-third of the land that her husband owned in fee upon his death. This means that if a husband dies, his wife has the right to live on and use one-third of the land that he owned. In some states, this right has been expanded to include all the land that the husband owned. This right cannot be taken away from the wife by any transfer made by her husband during his lifetime.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dos rationabilis refers to a wife's right, under common law, to a life estate in one-third of the land that her husband owned in fee upon his death. This is also known as dower.

For example, if a husband owned a piece of land in fee and passed away, his wife would have the right to live on and use one-third of that land for the rest of her life.

While many states have abolished dower, some still retain the concept and have expanded the wife's share to a life estate in all the land that her husband owned in fee.

This concept is important because it provides some financial security for a wife in the event of her husband's death, ensuring that she has a place to live and some resources to support herself.
