Ind. Code § 32-22-1-4
A judge may give consent under section 3 of this chapter to a conveyance or mortgage and to any note secured by the mortgage, agreement, or contract if the judge determines that it would benefit the person described in section 3 of this chapter and that it would be prejudicial to the spouse of the person if the execution of the instrument were prevented. The judge shall endorse the judge's consent on the instrument and sign it, and the instrument so certified is valid for all purposes as if the married person were at least eighteen (18) years of age. However, the judge has the power, in the judge's discretion, to examine witnesses concerning the propriety or necessity of executing the instrument.
