MARRIAGE LAWS IN NEW MARRIAGE

HUNGARY.

The Hungarian revolutionary authori ties have issued a decree giving illegiti mate children equal rights with the legitimate. Two people who have lived together for one year are to be regarded

as lawfully married. The only formality required is to notify the local authorities of their present address and their infes tion to continue the relationship.

Married people living apart are allowed to enter on new marriages in the same way. The former relationship is regard- ed as broken the moment the new one is started.
