THE CALIFORNIA MARRIAGE CODE.
The San Francisco Chronicle has
pointed out some curious features OF
the Civil Code relative to marriage III
that state The law provides three dis
tinct ways in which a couple may mar
ry: First, contract followed by con
summation. Second, the oldfashioned
methed by solemnization; and third, by
declaration Of intention, signed, &C
knowledged, and filed like any Other
legal instrument. The first marriage,
under the third of these methods, was
recently made in Stockton, and has al
ready created very favorable impress
sion as a convenient and inexpensive
plan, as it requires no fuss or worry, nc
minister, no justice, no anything, but
two parties to make "A contract, and ac
knowledge it before a notary. The law
makes this marriage binding, if it is
followed by a mutual assumption OF
marital rights, as the ffty~ffth section
of the C-4de provides: g Marriage is {
personal relation arising out of a civil
contract, to which the consent of parties
capable of making it is necessary. Con
sent alone VIII not constitute marriage
it must be followed by a solemnization
or by mutual assumption of martha
rights, duties, or obligations"
