the safest and wisest course. for ths
correction OF any wrong or relief of
any hardship is to apply to the Leg
islature. which may. and doubtless
will in any proper case. by specific
act validate a marriage which, under
general law is invalid.
Some OF the States in which tho
court have recognized non-cere-
monial or common law marriages be-
cause their laws did not expressly
make them invalid have since made
them invalid by express statutory
provision. No doubt this was done
IN obedience 20 what the law making
bodies conceived TO be sound reason
and wise public policy under exist
ing conditions: and IL is difficult to
escape the belief that many courts
| that have held such marriages good
might be OF a different opinion to-
day II the question was new one.
But while we know that the good OF
society requires that a marriage. to
be valid. should be something more
than the mere agreement Of the par
ties 20 live together. we base our con-
clusion on the obvious meaning Of
the Legislature OF our own State on
the subject.
We are clearly OF the opinion that
a common law or non-ceremoniai
marriage entered into In this State Is
not a valid marriage.

marriages the relation in the begin
ming is nothing other than licentlous. |
and the question is whether the in
terests Of the innocent children OF
such unions are paramount TO the
good OF society We know II is es-
sential In a non-ceremonial marriage
that there shall be an agreement In
the beginning that the parties as
sumo the relation OF husband and
wife; they must presently agree they
will live together as SUCH But the
trouble Is that such agreement can
rarely be shown except by their con-
duct, and there is no perceptble diff
ference in this regard between inno-
cent and guilty conduct Hardly
ever do parties 20 such relation de-
clare their purpose or intent In the
beginning, and. therefore. Il must be
shown by circumstances. that Is. by
their conduct-cohablta
And the recognition Of informal
I marriages TO make innocent children
legitimate, may be attended with un-
I fortunate results In many cases.
Suppose. for example. that after con-
unucd cohabitation. and reputation
as married people and after children
are born. there comes, as In the pres
ent case. separation Of the parents.
and either party contracts a similar
marriage with another person and
raises children. what will be the
status OF the innocent offspring OF
the later union? There cannot be
two valid marriages. To put a more
extreme and dimcult case. suppose
after the separation. either party
contracts a marriage In perfectly
legal manner and raises children
What would be the situation OF the
parent and the children?
IL seems. therefore, that lcgallzinr
an informal marriage so that the
children shall be legitimate may
cause troubles and complications OF
a very serious character to parents
children and society. II is the opin.
ion Of the court that the Legislator,
having dealt intelllgently. CAREFUL,
and fully with the subject Of mar
riage, and having declared wha
shall constitute a legal marriage. tn,
court may assume that a marriag,
contracted otherwise Is unlawful ant
invalid. II the law works "A hardship
In any case upon parent or child
there is an obvious and practicable
remedy. viz. An application TO tn
o. Legislature to validate the marriag
