Marrying To Be Company

For Bride

Cairo,

THE marriage of Princess

Fawzia, seventeen-year- old sister of King Farouk of Egypt, to the Crown Prince of Iran, will result in many marringes between the people of both coun- tries.

It was felt that the Princess would be more at home in Teheran, Iraninn capital, with an entourage of her own countrywomen, so the Crown Prince himself suggested that pro- minent Ironians should marry thej daughters of distinguished Egyptian) families who would be suitable com

pantons for his wife.

The Crown Prince will come to Calro to sign the marriage contract in September.

DIVORCE

PUZZLE

Five Judges To

Give Ruling

TO decide a legal problem

of "desertion" under Mr. A. P. Herbert's new Marriage Act, a test case is shortly to come before a specially constituted court of all five judges of the Divorce Division.

The Act enables a divorce to be granted on proof of desertion for three years, but there can be no desertion if husband and, wife live apart under a deed of separation,

It has been suggested, however, that such a deed can be repudiated.

A number of suits have been illed in which a plea of repudia- tlun is made and

2 perlod of

three years' subsequent "deser- Ilon" set out. The court will be asked to decide whether this is desertion within the meaning of the Act.

The court will also be asked to decide whether a man cun success- fully plead that his wife has deserted him when he himself has committed adultery after the date of the alleged desertion.

Some lawyers take the view that misconduct puts an end to the "de- sertion" by the uther party.
