MARRIAGES OF
MINORS ILLEGAL,
N. Y. JUDGE RULES
10000 Persons Are Affected by
Decision of Supreme
Court Decision.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Interpreta-
ton of a decision rendered by the APP
pellate Division of the Supreme Court,
written by Judge Nathan Miller, is
accepted by lawyers to indicate that
marriages of persons under age in New
York are Illegal. and that the thousands
of couples who were united while un-
der age, even though they had the
written consent of their parents TO do
so, cannot be legally recognized as man
and wife.
1t has always been the custom to
grant marriage licenses to minors who
had the written consent of their par
ents or guardians to a marriage. A
wedding of minors under such condi-
tons was regarded as both legal and
binding. But under the new decision
any marriage between minors, even
with the consent of the parents. Is not
legal. The fact that the contracting
parties are under age nulliies the mar
riage ceremony.
1t is estimated hat there are 10000
persons in New York who were mar
ried under age. Consequently they are
Effected by the decision. 1t is likely
that many of them will have a sec
ond ceremony, If they are now above
legal g to insur the legality of
their union.
In passing upon the question the
court ordered the annulment of the
marriage of Annie Kruger n Henry
Kruger in Manhattan, April 6, 1908.
The bride refused to live with her
husband four months after the we'd
ding. Justice Gresnbaum dismissed her
action to annul the marriage on the
ground that the consent of the parents,
though she was only II, was binding.
Judge Nathan L. Miller, In present.
ing a unanimous opinion of the court,
said in part:
''There are two statutes, M enacted
with reference to the other. which, in
the most u~nmistakable language. pro-
vide that an action may be maintained
to annul. the marriage where n or
both the contracting parties a not
attained the legal age. 1t must be
owned that the statute is incongruous."
