The question whether a man under
tWcnty-onc years Of age could lawfully
withhold his wages from his father and
use them for the support of his wife re-
Gently came before the Supreme Judicial
Court Of Massachusetts,. The son had
married without the consent Of his father.
Both the father and the wife claimed to
be in actual need of the young INNS
wages for their support The law is
we'll settled that where minor son
marries with the consent Of his father.
that consent cmancipatcs the son and
permits him to apply his wages to TIE
support Of his wife, but it was argued
that such Il marriage without the con-
sent of the father did not have the same
effect. The Massachusetts, Supreme
Court, however, entertained different
opinion on this point and declared that
an infant husband is entitled to his own
wages SO far As they are necessary for bis )
own support and that Of his wife and
children, even If he marres without his
fathers consent. The Court also init,
mated. but did not decide. that in such
cases the husband would he entitled to
all his earnings, even if more than suffi-
Gent for the support OF himself and his !
family.
