Legal Discrimination Against Women
The law which makes the nationality
of wife depend on that of her husband
has worked much hardship in this coun-
try as we'll as abroad. but che of the
most fragrant cases of injustice arising
from this humiliating status is cited by
Agnes E. Cook in The Woman's Signal
as occurring at Gibraltar, the British
military station on the Mediterranean.
No alien can live in Gibraltar without
a special permit, SO if British girl
marries Spanish subject she passes out
with him to live in Spain, and neither
she nor her children, even though she
be widow, can return. Her male rela.
tlves can marry Spanish wives and take
them into Gibraltar, but she is an alien
forever.
The case referred to is that of Brit
ish girl who married Spaniard named
Garzon. He was sufficiently useful to
the British to be allowed to live there
by special permit. Last year he died,
and it would have seemed very proper
for his widow to have remained with
her parents in Gibraltar, who were very
anxious to make a home for her and to
have her with them. Her baby was born
five days after her husbands death, and
the authorities generously allowed her
to remain with her mother until she
had somewhat recovered from her ILL.,
