THE RIsoN DIVORCE BILL.

The Rison divorce bill should be
defeated by the House. 1t is start
ling that a bill making such a radical
and dangerous change in our divorce
laws should have slipped through the
State Senate without a protest and
the only reasonable explanation lies
in the propable fact that no senator
discovered the danger of the meas
ure. When every State is trying to
strengthen their divorce laws in
order that divorce may be made less
easy. it is surprising that Virginia
legislators should contemplate the
passage of any bill letting down the
bars further than they are, and we
all know that they are down far too
low at this time. To change the
wording of the present statute
from the "aggrieved party" TO
" either party as proposed. is
to grant release in our courts from
the sacred bonds of matrimony not
only to the innocent party in a di-
vorce suit, but likewise to the guilty
party. Suppose. for instance. hus-
band having deserted his wife with
out just cause or having been cruel
to her is made defendant to a di-
vorce bill and the wife in the pro-
ceedings, having proved the allega-
tons of her bill, is granted divorce
"a mensa ct thoro," or what is more
commonly known as a divorce from
bed and board, with alimony. Sup
pose, the three years having elapsed,
she is entitled, if she so desires, to a
divorce "a vinculo." or permanent
divorce, from her husband which she
can obtain by filing a petition in the
same suit and by introducing EVIL
dence to show that no reconciliation
has taken place and that none is
probable, but suppose she does not
care 10 take this step; then. as the
law now stands, the guilty husband
can not by any possible means secure
this permanent divorce so as to en-
able him to marry and the case re-
mains in statu quo. On the other
hand. suppose the Risen bill becomes
law; then, after lapse Of three
years following his desertion. his
wife having obtained a divorce "a
mensa," this husband. who by his
actions has brought about this state
of affairs, can, if his wife will not dc
so, file his petition in the suit show
ing the lapse of the statutory time
that no reconciliation has taken
place and that none is probable, and
the court in proof Of these facts
must grant the decree which frees
him from the ties of matrimony and
enables him TO re-marry. There is
neither justice nor reason in the bill
and it should be defeated.
