rHE VALIDITY OF rHg DAKOTA DIvoRcg


In the case now pending before Sir
Francis Jeune in London South Da-
kota divorce, secured after a six
months temporary residence, has been
characterized by counsel as not only in
valid but as fraud on civilized
Jurisprudence" 1t will probably be
news to the majority of Americans,
but it is nevertheless fact, that this
position tallies almost exactly with
that of our own federal Supreme Court
as expressed In two recent decisions.
The cases in issue at Washington
were Dakota divorces that had been
declared invalid, the one by Massa-
chusetts, the other by an Oklahoma
court. The Supreme justices decided
five to three that temporary legal
residence in South Dakota was not a
bona fide residence in such sense as to
strip the applicant for divorce OF his
citizenship In some other state and
make him properly a citizen of South
Dakota, and that consequently the
South Dakota decree of divorce had no
more binding authority In other states
than if it had been rendered on the
application of persons who had noteven
a pretense to citizenship.
The theory on which the validity OF
these divorces has heretofore been up
held in this country is based on the
provision Of the federal constitution
that 'sfull faith and credit shall be
given In each state to the public acts,
records and judicial proceedings of
every other state. " From this would
followlthe principle that divorce valid
wl ara satass III slia every JAsre.
The division between the justices Ia
dieates that three of them accepted
this conclusion literally, while the
other five, the majority, looked upon
the fraudulent element In the tempo
rary citizenship as the determining ele-
ment.
In the future, therefore, the Dakota
divorce must be respected by the
courts OF other states only where the
applicant had become a permanent,
bona fide Dakotan.
This assures to each state the right
to protect the marriage tie Of its own
citizens. 1t applies as completely oil
course to the relations between Illinois
and other states as to the relations be-
tween Dakota and other states. Cltica.
