Wife beating henceforth will be con-
sidered q. crime in France. The old
laws-under which a man was not
punished who "ln order either to make
himself obeyed or else as q punish.
ment for an unfaithful wife" beat her,
have been repealed by the court fol-
lowing the acQuittal of a husband who
had been prosecuted by. his wife. The
husbands lawyers produced the old
edicts which, authorized husband to
mete out manual punishment" when
a wife refused to obey him, and said
that the husband was within the old
Roman laws which stated: "A man has
the right of life and death over his
wife," The court agreed and released
the husband. but the wife appealed to
the higher court, which now has de-
cided that the old laws no, longer
stand, and that hot only should q bru-
tai husband be punished but that also
a wife who has been beaten should
have cause for divorce.
