UNLAWFUL NUPTIALS
MANY SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN
CONTRACTED.
IGNORANCE OF NEW LAW
Statute Enacted Last Winter Forbids
Marriage of People Within One
Year of Date of Procuring Divorce
. —Question Arises in Several
Counties.
In Milwaukee the other day Judge
Halsey performed a marriage cere
mony wherein the bride was anything
but nervous. During the preliminaries
she glanced over a newspaper and
divided her attention between the pa
per and the marriage ceremony.
The bride was Cora Fahrestock and
the groom Frank Braitsch. They came
from Wichita, Kas. They were dl-
I rected to Judge Halsey in order that
the court might advise them whether
there was any legal obstacle in the
way of their marriage, inasmuch as
ono of thorn was divorced from a
former marriage.
Judge Halsey, after an examination
of the statute enacted by the legisla
ture at its recent session, prohibiting
the marriage of divorced couples
within one year, decided that the
statute diu not apply to parties who
were divorced in other states. There
fore he performed the marriage cere
mony.
The first permit entitling a divorced
party to marry within one year was
granted by Judge Halsey while he was
on Judge Silver-thorn's circuit, in a
suit wherein a son of Mark Barnum
was one of the parties. It develops
that the statute confers upon the
judge who grants the decree of di
vorce the right to suspend the opera
tion of the statute, if he dec-ms advis
able. The lawyers wanted to have a
clause inserted in the decree giving
the plaintiff the right to remarry with
in one year, but Judge Halsey de
cided that this could not be done.
Judge Silverthorn agreed with him.
The application must be made inde
pendently.
It develops that there are many
ministers and other persons clothed
with the right to perform marriage
ceremonies who are not aware of the
new statute. It is believed that there
have been a number of marriages
since the passage of the new law
wherein its provisions have been vio
lated.
Such marriages. Judge Halsey said
are void. There have been several
people divorced within the past few
weeks who expressed the intention,
even before leaving the courtroom, of
remarrying immediately. It will be
well the judges say. for ministers and
justices of the peace to bear the
statute in mind. It is known as chap
ter 2, 1 and its provisions are in part \
as follows: J
“And It shall not be lawful f or
person divorced from the bonds of
matrimony by any court of this state
to marry again within one year from
the date of the entry- of such judg
ment or decree, and the marriage of
any divorced person solemnized with
n one year from the date of the en
tir of any such judgment or decree of
divorce shall be null and void- but
upon application of such divorced per
son, any court of record or presfding
judge thereof, who granted the di
vorce, in his discretion, by order mav
authorize the marriage of such di
vorced person within the year.”
