April 8.--There Iis |need for important reforms in the |marriage laws and their administra- |tion, either or both, in practically |every state in the United States, ac- conding to a 150-page report on |"Child Marriages,” issued here to- day by the Russell Sage Ioundation as the result of u soveral years' in- ‘\PMH,.'U\UH extending into 90 cities lin practically every section of the ‘lullfl'v\ | The report, which was prepared by Mary E. Richmond, under Whot direction the study was conducted, with the collaboration of Fred =.| Hall, takes the position that at this stage reforms must be effected state by state. It calls upon associations of parents, women's organizations, school authorities, ministerial asso- clations, sociul workers, legislators |and others interested in the problem | lof child marriage, to undertake the lnl!fl wing ten steps toward & solution lof this probler Jf| 1.—Work toward a reasonable and enforcement minimum mar- ——SSSES= | riggeable age law; the minimum for | girls should be at least 16; In many states it is still 12. 2.—Procure in states which now ara without it a law requiring five |days’ advance notice of intention to {marry; such a law is now in opera- tlon in eight states. 3.—Put the marriage market town out of business; there are at least 40 notorious Gretna Greens where the exploitation and commercializa- | tion of marriage are responsible for | | numerous child marriages. 0 rough cooperation with ad- joining states discourage hasty mar- riages across the state border, where out-of-town marriages are railroad- ed through either at the license of- fice or the justice of the peace of- fice, or both. 5—Know the work of your license issuers, so that the difficulties with which they are now contending single-handed may be brought to light, and that they may be encour- aged to use the diseretion which the laws of m states now_empower them 1o exercise. 6—Destroy the fee svstem; in so far as the system of fees in lieu of | salarics to license issuers survives, it interferes with the disinterested character of their service. 7.—Strengthen requirements as to proot of age of applicants for mar- rlage licenses: at present no proof of age is required in most marriage license offices and the practice of ac- | fidavits leads to falsifica- pplicants and sometimes by their parents, making possible the marriage of children 11, 13 and 14 years of age. 5.—Substitute better age for affidavits; no other form of evidence s so unsatisfactory. Aside from birth and baptismal |eates, 16 other forms of documen- |tary evidence of age are suggested in the report 9.—Require both applicants for a | marriage license to appear in per- 63 MAIN STREET evidence of | certifi- | son before the lice issuer, 10.~~Harmonize the different state laws in which a minimum ago Is required; the minlmum marriage- able age should ‘not be lower than the minimum working age, and the |eampulsory school attendance age |should fit into both these others. Adoption of such reforms, says Il!m report, would act as a c¢heck upon thosa parents who are willing |to marry off their boys and girls while they are still children. What |is more important, they would pro- |teet other parents who at present person or impulse of the moment may spirit away the immature girl {or boy from the home and make the | child the victim of an administrative |system which ts without proper safe. guards.
