Wol a Set Age Limit The bill would prohibit the issuance of marriage licenses to bdys under 18 and girls under 16 without parental consent. It would require thaj application for marriage license be filed publicly two weeks before the> ceremony, "except in case of emergency.” Marriage of first cousins would be illegal; further, both parties would be required to show proof of good health. The marriage license would have to bear the names of all former wives or husbands and date of divorce or death. Mother Would Get Favor Divorce grounds would be limited to adultery, cruelty, abandonment, insanity, and conviction of an infamous crime. No divorce decree would become final until one year after issuance. Where custody of children is disputed, the mother would have a prior claim, but in any case either parent would be permitted to visit them. Proponents of the bill claim that it would prevent many hasty and unwise marriages and do much to improve home life. During 1928 new cars will appear in England at the rate of about 3,840 a week.
