Two ci nl r ya) _ARE OUR MARRIAGE OR DIVORCE “LAWS TOO EASY, OR BOTH? BY CYNTHIA GREY Are our marriage laws, or divorce statutes, both faulty? Miss Lucile Pugh, divorce cases in 12 prac drawn the conclusion that marriag On the other hand, Dr, William famous Trinity church, Wa * of couples, belie our marriage divorce is too easy Miss Pugh says: Marriage without love is legalized prostitution. Fewer impulsive marriages would mean fewer divorce Reducing the grounds for divorce to adultery invites law. breaking. too lax, or are dres streets of has ugh.) rector of the ried hundreds but that has in appeared in scores New Yor is not diffie T. Manning, who h lawyer, years ult eno es r are okeh Altho there are more divorces than there were, it does not mean more unhappiness, bat simply that divorce no longer is a disgrace. There should be laws making it illegal to marry until ‘a certain time after engagement. This would give a “cooling off” period, and many improperly mated people never would \ marry at all. Uniform state laws providing a year's lapse _ before rer age after divorce should be adopted. Federal idivorce laws cannot be passed, for marriage and divorce are saunctions of the state. Dr. Manning says: Many marriages today are * free-love. If there were no divorce courts, many people who now divorce would find it possible to be happy together. The increase in the number of divorces means we are facing the question of whether marriage is to remain an institution, or is to be held sacred only by religious groups There should be a federal divorce law making adultery the only cause for divorce. Marriage after divorce should be Made impossible. Some divorce laws now make matrimony dissolvable at will. That is not a foundation upon which Civilization can long endure. What do you think about it, Mr. or Mrs. Reader? Do your views coincide with Miss Pugh's, or Dr. Manning’s, or have you an entirely different theory upon marriage and divorce? 1 will be glad to print the ideas of my readers upon this in- teresting and vital subject.
