Altogether, the matrimonial market is lively and strong, Rukmibhar, the native Indian lady, whose wronys aroused a general feeling of sym- pathy in England and India, was married, accoiding to Hindoo usage, at the age of eleven to & youth some years her senior. She remained at her parents’ house,was carefully cducated and grew up, according to all ac- counts, into a refined and highly educated lady. Some elghteen months ago she pub- lished in *“T'he Times of Indaia,” under the nom de plume of **A tiindoo Lady,” a series of forcible and striking letters on the miseries entailed on her sex in India by the barbarous customs of infant marriage and enforced widowhood. Last year her hus- band tried to get her to live with him, and on her refusing he instituted a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights in the Bombay high court. The case was tried, and it hav- In been proved that the husband was too POOT to support her, was utterly ignorant and unedueated--in fact, a mere coolie, the judge expressed the opinion that it would be a bar- barous, eruel and revolting thing to compel lor- (0 live with such a man, He fur- ther held that such a snit could not lie under llindoo law and dismissed it. The husvand appealed, and the chief justice and A judge ruled that the first judge was wrong in’law and sent the casc back 1o the lower courts to be tried ou its merits, On this triei it was urged as before thiat the wowan ha never consented to the marriage, and had never regarded the wan as her husband; that Lie WAS poor, fgnorant and unhealthy: that If ordered to return to him she should be forced to discboy and take the conse- guences. She was ordered to join her hus- band within & month or undergo six months’ imprisonment. ‘I'no case has axcited much sympathy awong the Anglo-indian com- munity.
