HUSBANDS AND WIVES IN ARMY
MR JUSTICE FAIR’S ADVICE •■<P.A.) AUCKLAND. June 11. , Advice to married men who enter jtfthe armed forces was given by Mr Fair when hearing an undefended divorce petition to-day. The evidence related to alleged misconduct by a wife whose husband was in the Army, at a distance, while she ■was also in the Army as a transport driver.
His Honour said that in such petitions his duty was to consider whether the husband’s conduct had induced or contributed to the wife's lapse. It was a question which might arise frequently in conditions presently in §[ew Zealand, where a wife not only at times was separated from her husband by the needs of war service, but also had to undertake duties and enter on associations strange to her, unsettling, and exposing her to temptations which si 10 would not experience normally.
In such a situation the husband’s duty was to sec that his wife, when circumstances changed exceptionally, was afforded his company and protection as far as possible and to see that she was guarded against the dangers.
