COLONIAE WEDDINGS
» FFICULTIES OF DECEASED WIFE'S BISTER QUESTION,
The questi n raised in the correspondance columus of the Tribune the other day with re fnience to a marzinge - with “a 'decoased wife's sister in the Colonies being recognised as legal in England is presenting a d'fficulty to persons, mora versed in the mairlage laws than the cor respondent who wrote, lle staled thất he was' married to his deceased wife's sister in Jersey, after satisfying the registrar in mnawer to very close questions about their relationship." He added that he wentto Jertaý to vutils, batafter two years' sidence there he was compelled to leave the island.fr England, "where pobedy seems to know whether he is legally married or DOL"
A representative of the (Tribune visited the v offices of the Marriage Law: Reform: Associa» tion to seek enlightenment on the question. Mr. T. Paynter Alle, the secretary, said it was Impossible to give a definite reply..
"The problem is being raised in many quar Colonial Mariages (Deceased Wife's Bintur); ters," remarked Mr. Paynter Allen and the
-Act, 1966, is likely to present many diffinition With reference to the question asked by the correspondent, whether the Act of last year, in- cludes je aey, the answer is in the affirmative. But it does not follow that a marriage with a decensed wife's sister solemnized there would in every case be legally recognized" in this country. If that were so Jersey would afford an easy way of evading the existing English' law. It is quite true that under the sew Act' Colonial marriages with a deceased wife's sister are now recognized as legal in this country; but we are frequently receiving letters from correspondents who desire to know the scope of the new Act.
A CASE IN POINT.
"Take the following case: A man interested in muning operations goes to Canadi. His in- tention is to remai there in order to take part in a promising enterprise. While he is there ha mirries his deceased wife's sister. The enterprise fails, and he returns after a short absence to this country, Is. that marriage, which was legal in Canada, legally recognized Ja England? The Act does not make it clear. In the majority of the Colonies temporary,resis dence of the paries is sufficiant before the
Special attention given in effectively display marriage is carried out. In jersey the persone

THE MANAGER,
must be domiciled, and it has been stated that domicile there must be interpreted according to the principle, accepted in this country. That interpretation is that the persons must have gone to the place where the marriage is to be contracted with the intention of remain. ing there permanently.
"But who is to decide the intentions, say, of a wealthy man who desired to marry his decesed wife's sister, and being unable to do so in this coutry went to fersey, bought a freehold there, got over the 'matrimonial difficulty, and then," finding the Channel island disagreeable, rem turned to England? Would the Courts of this country recognize such a marriage? »

"Such a case as that and the one I have mentioned of the man going to Canada 'raisa points which are creating difficulties in the minds of many people in connexion with the | new Act,

THE QUESTION" OF CHILDREN "There are difficulties 'in' relation to the children of such inarriages, and it is in regard to that matter that the Marriage Law Reform Association is frequently consulted,
"Aman might imagine bis marriage with a deceased wife's slater is a Colony, after tem- porary residence there, to ba fegally recognized in this country. But when, after his death, his property came to be distributed among bis children-igation might be raised" by other" members of his family, and the law crusts: might take a view with regard to his ten | tions' in going to the Colony where he was married which would render his marriage illegal.
"The only remedy is the alteration of the law so as to render marriage with a deceased wife's sister legal in this country. The Sare riage Law Reform Association is hoping that the present Parliament will pass such a mea-bia... If a favourable place is not secured for the Bill in the ballot at the beginning of next session we should like to see the Government take it up. I don't think there wouli 'ie any difficulty in the House of Lords. Ou Frouble is not there," added Mr. Paynter Alien, with a'amille,
