Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 39, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 January 1902 — No Change in Marriage Law. [ARTICLE]

No Change in Marriage Law.

The statement recently published that returns of marriages must be made to the county clerk within 7 days after the marriage, was a mistake. There is no such law in this state, though there ought to be, and the old rule of 90 days in which to make the returns still prevails. The statement that ’a seven day rule went into effect on Jan. 7th, has been going the rounds of the Indiana press generally, but when and where and how it originated we are unable to say. Very likely, however such a law has been adopted in some neighboring state and by someone’s mistake it was attributed to Indiana.
