What are a wife's rights? The latest obiter diets of Mr. Justice McCardle on this point are being discussed every- where. He said:
A wife is permitted to leave her husband if she so desires. She may decide whether she will bear children or not, and when each child shall be born. She is a citizen and nut a serf. She can decide her own future.
If, however, as I imagine, you're only pulling my almost middle- aged leg as a result of your recent reading in the newspapers, my advice to you is quite different. In that case, provided you and your Angela really are in love, for Heaven's sake don't worry about your fights. Marry her and take the risk.
