Divorces in Indiana in 1910 Numbered 4,632—lncrease of 200

There were <632 divorces granted illmated wives and husbands in Indiana during 1910, according to statistics compiled in the office of the state statistician. There were only 30,677 marriage licences issued during the year—scarcely more than six times the number of divorces. The latter figures are regarded In excess, because some licenses issued were never used. 2 Of the divorces granted, the wives had much the better of the argument collectively. Legal separation was granted to women in 3,475 cases, while men asked freedom in only 1,157 cases, according to the figures. The statistician’s office has compared the total number o£ divorces granted and marriage licenses issued with thot,e of 1909, 1908, 1907 and 1906. In 1907 the figures for both were lower. Wives’ obtained decrees in 2,967 cases and husbands in 1,013, making the total number of divorces during the year 3,980. The marriage licenses were much more numerous than in the preceding year, due, it is said at the state statistician’s office, to the panie of 1908. The total number for 1907 reached 29,804. In 1906 the total number of divorces was only 3,669, of which 2,795 were granted: women and 874 to men.

, The causes of divorces granted have been tabulated for 1910 from all counties by the Btate official’s office and .they follow, specifying to which party the decree was granted: Abandonment (wife) —754 cases; abandonment (husband)—369 cases; adultry(wife)—l64 cases; adultry (husband)—223 cases; criminal coaYiction (wife) —45 cases; criminal conviction (husband) —6 cases; cruel treatment (wife) —1,338 cases; cruel treatment (husband)—432 cases; failure to provide (wife)—6oß cases; failure to provide (husband)—none; other causes (wife) —179 cases; other causes (hushand) —91 cases. v‘ . * Marion county led in the number of divorces granted with 598 to wives and 170 to husbands. Vigo was next with a total of 220 divorces. Then came Vanderburg with 220, Madison with 176, Allen with 171, St. Joseph with 170, Delaware with 147, Grant witb 122 and Cass with 115. , * Ohio county won’ the blue ribbon for harboring least domestic infelic ity. Only one divorce was granted there during the year, according to the reports. Union county was a close second with , but four decrees registered. The lone Ohio county decree was granted to a wife because of a drunken husband. An amusing feature of the figures, the officials in the state statistician’s office believe, lies in the lack of decrees granted husbands because their wives failed to provide for them. Not a case of such description was registered in any of the reports sent in by county officials../
