A physically viable ansatz for quark mass matrices must satisfy certain constraints, like the constraint imposed by CP-violation. In this article we study a concrete example, by looking at some generic matrices with a nearly democratic texture, and the implications of the constraints imposed by CP-violation, specifically the Jarlskog invariant. This constraint reduces the number of parameters from six to five, implying that the six mass eigenvalues of the up-quarks and the down-quarks are interdependent, which in our approach is explicitly demonstrated.
