France Want. Easy Marriages.

france W00Ce Easy marriages.
Marriage in France has hitherto
been hedged around with a great mass
of limitations and distractions. Be-
sides being difficult, it has been a cost
ly step, with long and complicated
legal preliminaries, and, in fact, is SO
still to some extent. Few marriages,
especially early marriages. have re-
suited, and the birth rate has at last
dropped below the death rate.
Not long ago a law which conserva-
tive heads looked upon as most radt-
cal was passed, with the result that
there has been q marked increase in
marriages. This law permits persons
over thirty years of age to marry
without the consent Of the parents.
Now, ~elopements by couples in the thir-
ties is not alarming when only the
parents have cause to object. But
even this concession was called revo-
lutionary, and its sponsor in the cham
Der of deputies, Able Lemaire, had
hard work to get it passed. He even
wanted to make the age limit the ma
jority, but the proposal was SO shock
ing to the mass of the legislators that
he compromised on thirty years Of
age.
Even the slight concession Of allow
ing youth and maiden Of thirty to mar
~ without asking papa has increased
the number Of matrimonial unions in
France to figures higher than. have
been reached since 1872. AS statistics
show that the French C. is doomed
to extinction unless the birth rate shall
increase considerably, it is likely that
the success Of this bill will influence
tn. lawmakers Of the nation to make
other changes in their antiquated mar
rage laws. Early marriages have
been almost impossible, and yet it is
these unions that maintain a country
in the living nation class. France
should rejoice when the young folks
want to '.set up housekeeping" early.
