The opinion in the above-entitled cause, reported in 62 Cal.App. 541 [ 217 P. 567], and dated June 16, 1923, is hereby amended so that the concluding sentences thereof shall read as follows:

"The authority of the parents in the matter of giving consent to the marriage of their infant child is conferred, and also is limited by the statute.
