Divorce for Turkish Women.

Under Mohammedan law a husband
can divorce his wife practically at
will. Hitherto the wife has been able
to divorce her husband only for some
very unusual cause, such as changing
his religion; although, with his con-
sent, she could buy her freedom. as 4
slave could in America in the old
times. II is striking instance of
the progress of modern ideas in Tur-
key that the Turkish parliament has
just passed bill making unfaithful-
ness on the part of the husband le-
gal ground for divorce. In this Tur-
key has actually gone ahead of Eng
land, where Il wife is still unable to
get divorce for her husbands inf
deity, unless it is accompanied by
desertiOn or extreme cruelty.
