BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

When husband and wife
agree prior to marriage TO rear
their children in q particular
religious faith, are such agree
Iments legally enforceable?
Most Of the reliable law ref
erence works indicate they
probably are. At the same
time, II is emphasized that only
q very small number Of cases
Of the kind have ever been con-
cluded in American courts.
Those which have appear to
conflict.
So the outcome Of q recent
Connecticut case-in-point is OF
particular note.
It happened when q West
Hartford couple decided to sep
arte. The wife. a Methodist,
sought q divorce and custody
Of the three children. The
husband. a Catholic, asked for
a decree requiring the children
to be raised in his faith: he
based his action on a prenup-
tial agreement signed by his
wife to bring UP any children AZ
Catholics.
Court BaIks on Both Bids
The Connecticut courts re-
fused TO grant either the di-
vorce or the decree.
Superior Court Judge Charles
H. House of Bridgeport said
the case was the first test OF
the prenuptial religious pact
ever brought in Connecticut
In refusing TO enforce such
agreements. Judge House
pinned his decision to the
State constitution which says
that no one may be compelled

to Join. support or be associated
with amy congregation, church
or religious association"
One Of the few other juris-
dictions where decisive legal
rules have evolved on the ques-
ton is Missouri, which has also
held the religious agreement as
non-enforceable, at least where
the pact counters the faith of
the husband.
In New York State, the courts
have consistently upheld the
validity Of the premarital re-
ligious agreement. And the is
sue seems TO have come up
oftener and TO have been dealt
with more thoroughly in New
York than anywhere else in
the country. Just last year. in
fact. the validity Of the relig-
ious pact was reaffirmed In the
States highercourts In a case
involving the children of a
Jewish mother and q Negro
father.
Common Law ThrOwbaek
Incidentally, in q number Of
States the law tends to give
somewhat more power to the
father than to the mother in
deciding what the religious
faith of the child shall be.
But many States now have
statutes which provide that
both parents have equal power
in determining the faith Of
their children. Such laws have
no direct bearing on the va
lidity of the prenuptial agree
ment; they simple equalize the
rights Of husband and wife In
the matter.

THE COUNCILS VIEW
James doesn't mention
whether Flora has changed her
dress and style Of makeup
since marriage. We're willing
to wager she hasn't changed
but the things that once at
tracted James now worry him.
And why? II men stare at
Flora now. they probably stared
at her before her marriage.
Then James was proud. Now he
Is ashamed. From his account,
Il Il. not 80 much the story Of
Flora's past that works on him
as o few words said by Q

James is being very unjust
both In bringing up the past
and In making veiled insinua-
tions about the present. He
evidently has nothing to 30 on
in the present. except Flora's
preference for flashy dress.
We think 1t might be ad-
visable for Flora to tone down
on the dress q bit since IL
bothers her husband. But the
biggest change in this relation
ship should come from James.
He should be proud Of his wife's
honesty and her apparently sim
cere desire to create q decent
life for herself and her family.
and should cast out the worm
of jealousy which Is destroying
