A decision was rendered by Judge AL lyn L. Brown in the superior court Tues Tuesday morning at New London in the case of Lillian N Moore of New London vs Thomas J. Moore of New York city. Mrs Moore who has brought suit through her father, sought to have her marriage annuMed on the ground that she was a minor when married in Norwich Jan. 23, 1920, and that her husband obtained the marriage certificate by falsely stating her age to be q. She also claimed that be- ing a minor she had no written consent from her parents. Mrs. Moore, whose maiden name was Kaplan, also petitioned for the restoration of her maiden name The Kaplan family formerly lived in Montville
 Evidence in the case declosed that from Jan. 2S, 1920, until Feb, 1921, she lived with her husband in the house with her parents and she consented to the mis- sta tements of age by defendant for the purpose of obtainiTS the marriage certifi- cate.
 The case is na one in which this court can grant relief sought" say the de- cision. Section 5262. Revision of 1918 1 Public Acts, provides that certain speci- fled marriages shall be void, but does not l include such case as this Section 5265 provides that the registrar upon reeieving certain information shall issue a marriage certificate or license for the marriage o1 the parties name anl further that Inc such certificate shsIl 5e issued if either l of the parties is { minor until a paren or guardian having control Of such minor shall give to the registrar his writer consent and that any party marrying without the required written consent shal acquire thereby no rights in the propert, of such person who was at the time O marriage under tk4 supervision of a con servator or guadian."
 A penalty is provided for the violatio,

 view is that the disregardihg of the pro
 visions quoted do not make the marrag
