New Marriage
Code Will Step
Hasty Marriage
—:0:—
If the 1929 State Legislature ap-
proves, Pennsylvania will have a new
marriage code.
The laws of the State with refer-
ence to marriage, passed at various
sessions of the Legislature over a
long period of years, have been re-
written and codified by John H. Fer-
tig, of the legislative reference bu-
reau, at the direction of the State De-
partment of Health, and the proposed
measure will be submitted to the Leg-
islature this month.
Chief among the proposed changes
are elimination of the prohibition of
marriage between first cousins; es-
tablishment of a waiting period of
five days after the issuance of a li-
cense and an increase of 25 cents in
the cost of the license. In his ex-
planatory supplement, Fertig says the
additional 25 cents is to compensate
the clerk of county courts for the ad-
ditional duty required by the new law
of compelling clerks to furnish month-
ly returns of marriage licenses issued
and the money procured. Where
either of the applicants for a license
is. under the age of twenty-one and
the consent of a parent or guardian
is necessary, the clerk is authorized
to receive for his own use an addi-
tional fee of 50 cents for recording
the certificate of consent.
Explaining the discard of the rule
against marriage of first cousins,
Fertig said that the courts have up-
held the marriage of first cousins
where the marriage was performed in
another state and the pair returned
3 and lived here.
The draft of the marriage laws
sliminates many controversail points
{and uncertainties in the present mar-

Proposed Divorce
Code Repeals 34
Obsolete Laws
—0:— |
A bill codifying the divorce laws of
Pennsylvania was transmitted togeth- |
er with a repert of recommendations
to the opening session of the general
assembly at Harrisburg Wednesday.
The proposed law, drawn up by
John H. Fertig, assistant director of
the Legislative Reference Bureau at
the instance of a concurrent resolu-
tion of the House and Senate adopted
in 1927, provides for the repeal of
thirty-four existing obsolete measures
on the subject of divorce and the an-
nulment of bigamous marriages. A
few minor changes in existing laws
are provided for in order to make the
divorce code‘s provisions harmonious
and clear, but the basic law would be
in no way changed.
Grounds for divorce from the bond
of matrimony as codified in the pro-
posed law are:
1. When a marriage has been
heretofore or shall hereafter be con-
tracted and celebrated between any
two persons, it shall be lawful for
the innocent and injured spouse to
obtain a divorce from the bond of
matrimony whenever it shall be
judged in the manner hereinafter
provided that the other spouse.
(a) At the time of the contract,
was and still is naturally and incur-
ably impotent or incapable of procre-
ation; or |
(b) Has knowingly, entered into a|
second marriage, in violation of the |
previous vows he or she made to the |
former spouse, whose marriage is|
still subsisting; or
(¢c) Shall have
tery; or
(d) Shall have committed wilful
and malicious desertion and absence
from the habitation of the injured
and innocent spouse without a rea-
sonable cause, for and during the
term and space of two years; or
(e) Shall have by cruel and bar-|
barous treatment endangered the life
of the injured and innocent spouse;
or
(f) Shall have offered such indig-
nities to the person of the injured and
innocent spouse as to render his or
her condition intolerable and life bur-
committed adul- |
(g) Ehall have procured the mar- |
riage by fraud, force, or coercion, |
and which has not been subsequently
confirmed by the acts of the injured
{and innocent spouse; or
(h) Shall have been convicted as
principal or as accessory, either be-
fore or after the fact, within or with-
| out this Commonwealth, of the crime
| of arson, burglary, embezzlement, for-
gery, kidnapping, larceny, murder
either in the first or second degree
assault with intent to kill, voluntary
manslaughter, perjury, rape, robbery, |
sodomy, buggery, treason or mispris-
on of treason and be sentenced to im- |
prisonment for any term exceeding |
two years by a competent court hav- |
|ing jurisdiction.
2. When a

to “the tables established by law, it
shall be lawful for either of said
parties to obtain an divorce from the

hereinafter provided; or

rumor, in appearance well founded of |

married, at his or her return of big-
amy and the other party to remain
with the second husband or wife. Any
six months after such return.
Grounds for divorce from bed and
board or legal separation would be:
Upon complaint and due proof there-
of, it shall be lawful for a wife to
obtain a divorce from bed and board
whenever it shall be judged that her
husband has:
(a) Maliciously
family; cr
(b) Maliciously turned her out of
doors; or
(¢) Ry cruel and barbarous treat-
ment endangered her life; or
(d) Offered such indignities to her
person as to render her condition in-
tolerable or life burdensome, and to
have forced her to withdraw from his
house and family; or
(e) Committed adultery.
At the ¢nd of the codification, Fer-
tig suggested a new section ‘at the
suggestion of the department of
health which would enable the depart-
ment to collect and compile divorce
statistics similar to those now gath-
ered of marriages.
