RUSSIAN MARRIAGE LAWS
PROPOSAL TO ABOLISH REGISTRATIONS ENDORSED BY SOVIET LEGISLATURE' (Rcc. November 18, 7.15 p.m.) Moscow, November 17. The Soviet Legislature has endorsed the marriage proposals of the Government. Marriage now will only involve the trouble of going to the Commissariat to record marital relations, which will require an identity card costing a few pence. People may .live in or out of wedlock as frequently as they please. There will be no illegitimacy, the new code says, unless cohabitation is accidental or merely temporary. [The proposal to abolish registration of marriages made by the Commissar of Justice precipitated a stormy debate at the session of the Central Executive of Soviet Republics. The strongest opposition came from the delegates representing the peasantry, one declaring that it was simply a'mcasiire to legalise polygamy.] .
