IL is a law by which any man or WON

ont first obtaining the permission Of
father or motaer and without needing
even TO go through the form Of noti-
flying the family Of the event. Hitherto
no Frenchman, of whatever age, could
marry without his parents consent.
though after the age Of 20 he could
bring the matter into court and get
a Judgment upon IL.
