Marry
TContinued from Page II

The couple declared in their
petition that the Catholic Church
did not forbid their marriage, and
that the California law, through
its prohibition of their marriage
infringed upon the free exercise
of their religion.
The court, in its majority opin-
ion, also brought about four broad
reasons for voiding the statutes
ID Any legislation restricting a
basic institution like marriage
must be based upon more than
prejudice and must be free from
oppressive discrimination"
ca The right 10 marry is an in
dividual right and cannot be lin
tied on the basis of race alone.
90 While the State has to regu
late marriage to prevent disease
or the decay of the race, this fac
tor is not involved, since experts
are agreed that interracial mar
riages do not in themselves pro-
duce inferior offspring.
(4 The law cannot be justified
as means of easing racial ten
sions but actually tends to perpet-
uate the "prejudices that give rise
20 the tension" If this line of
reasoning were carried out, the
remarked mixed religious marri-
ages could also be prohibited.
The dissenting judges pointed
out that 20 other States have laws
prohibiting interracial marriages
and none have been challenged
successfully They held that
crossing Of the primary races
leads generally to retrogression
........' The court was divided four
to three on the decision.
