A more thorough explanation:
PRENDER DE BARON
Prender de baron is a legal term that means "a taking of husband." It was used historically in cases where a former wife of a murder victim remarried and was not allowed to appeal a murder case against the alleged killer.
For example, if a woman's first husband was murdered and she remarried, she may not be allowed to appeal the murder case against the alleged killer. This is because she has "taken a husband" and is no longer considered the legal representative of her former husband.
Another example could be a case where a woman's first husband was killed in a car accident and she remarried. If she wanted to sue the driver of the other car for wrongful death, she may not be allowed to do so because she has "taken a husband" and is no longer considered the legal representative of her former husband.
These examples illustrate how the term "prender de baron" was used historically to prevent a woman who had remarried from appealing a case on behalf of her former husband.
