NEW MARRIAGE LAW.
Certificates Must be Filed in Six
Months if Union is Valid.

CertItcates Must be Filed in Six
Montha if Union is Valid.
New York. Jan. With The old
year common-law marriages in this
state went out and new law recOgniZ-
ing marriage by civil contract has gone
into effect. BY the signing of writ
ten agreement in the presence of two
witnesses, acknowledging it before a
notary and filing the paper with the
county clerk a man and woman may
legally wed in New York state.
In abolishing the old law it's abuse
by designing persons has been done
away with and the services of clergy
men, justices of the peace and alder
men are made no longer necessary to
tie marriage knots. Lawyers who
have given the new law attention say
that it will require further amend
ment to prevent it's being used to the
injury of one or the other of the con-
tracing parties by a failure to make
it matter Of record.
The last clause in the law has
aroused criticism. If both parties con-
tract marriage, but neglect to record
it within six months, through careless
ness or the intent of the husband or
wife, the marriage will be invalid.
1t is pointed out that a husband
may wilfully deceive a wife about re-
cording the certificate, and, after the
interval has passed, may desert her.
II is also suggested that the law is in
