DIVORCE" LAW REFORM.
DESERTION AS A GROUND.
In the House of Lords, on April 12th, in Committee un the Matrimoniaĺ Causes Bill, Lord Buckmaster moved that three years' desertion should constitute ground for divorce. He had never under stood why a single act of physical infide. lity should be permitted to destroy the entire marriage bond, while infidelity of soul, of which infidelity of the body was nothing but a piece of evidence and might be transient, should not be per mitted to have any effect at all. Re pudiate one tie and the marriage, could be dissolved; repudiate all the ties and the marriage could not be dissolved. It was conceivable that a man could commit an act of adultery and none the less be restored with perfect, devotion and affec tion to His wife, and yet the law allowed him to be divorced; but if a man aban- doned his wife and left her penniless that woman had to go for ever without divorce. He had had a leaflet sent to him hended Marriage Defence Council," in which it was stated that Lord Buck- master's bill provides that any man.or woman who cares to leave his or her spouse enn, whether, there be reason for desertion or not, obtain a divorce at the and of three years." There never was a single syllable in the bill to justify that statement. That bill merely provided, as this bill would provide, if his amendment were carried, that any married person could apply to the High Court to dis solve his or her marriage on the ground that the other party had deserted the applicant for a period of at least three years. The definition of desertion wa wilful desertion without the consent and against the will of the other party to the marriage, and without reasonable cause. The leaflet had been circulated broad- cast, and on it appeared the names of Lord Selborne, the Duke of Northumber. land, and Father Bernard. Vaughan, He had received numerous letters in connec. tion with the circular. He did not be- lieve the miserv 'caused by the desertion of one party to a marriage was the will or order of God. He believed it was. raade by ma and could be relieved by man. Their lordships now had the op portunity, to do su,
Lord Gorell said that on the merits of making desertion a ground for divorce he agreed with Lord Buckmaster, but one had to turn from the question of merits to a consideration of how the inclusion of this amendment would affect the fortunes of the bill. His only object in intro- ducing the measure was to get as much done as was possible. In his belief, if it was left in its present form the bill had a very reasonable chance of passing into law; but if the proposed amendment. were accepted. the bill would be faced with the most relentless bostility not only in their lordships' House, but in the ather House. If the amendment were carried, he would ask their lordships to relieve him of the responsibility of re- maining in charge of the bill. There was nothing in it which would prevent should further progress being made public opinion demand it.
The Bishop of Norwich said the pre- sent was a very unsuitable moment in
·which ' to 'aécept this amendment. The time when we were resping the results of hasty war marriages was not the right time for determining in a deliberate manner what marrings always ought to be. He believed the proposed' amend- ment would encourage people · light- heartedly to get married with the idea, consciously or unconsciously in their mind, that when they had enough of "it they could easily get out of it.
Viscount Haldane said there was a power greater than that of either Parlia ment or the Church, and that was the power of general opinion, which right through had decided that the marriage tie was not to be indissolublé for. All causes, and that there were some calises which must be recognised. Anxious as be was to da nothing to make divorce! easier or fo' interfere with the binding character of marriage, yet be could not bring himself to give a vote which would mark him as having said that a distinc- tion which was artificial was any longer to be maintained. If the Church had taken up the attitude that marriage was "sacred and could not be gone back upon that attitude would have been consistent. But the Church had not done go.. It had accepted all sorts of things. It had ac cepted marringe before a registrar, which showed that the determining standard in these matters was public opinion, and it was because he felt that public opin- ion had said that the repudiation of the marriage tie by desertion was equivalent to repudiation by adultery that he sup- ported the amendment...
The Archbishop of York" said the real question was not whether their lordships should express a view in favour or against the inclusión, of désertion as a ground for divorce, Ezt whether they desired to tack that ground on to the bill as a cause for divorce. It had been shown that to do so would be fundamen tally to alter the whole bill and prejudice its chance of receiving support in theo country, and in the House of Commons- Was it worth while jeopardising, any." thing of value in the bill in order to reassert an opinion which their lordships bart nirendy expressed 1AM
