OPALA, Chief Justice,
with whom HODGES, Vice Chief Justice, joins, concurring in result.
Whether valid, void or merely voidable at its inception, these parties’ out-of-state ceremonial marriage is a fit subject for judicial dissolution. The trial court was hence clearly in error when it refused to entertain the divorce suit. It is solely for this reason that I concur in today’s result. Whitney v. Whitney, 192 Okl. 174, 134 P.2d 357, 360 (1943); Whitney v. Whitney, 194 Okl. 361, 151 P.2d 583, 585 (1944); Krauter v. Krauter, 79 Okl. 30, 190 P. 1088, 1090 (1920).
