MARRIAGE LAW
(Per Press Association.)
* NELSON,- October 1. Tlie following resolution was passed by the Synod—“That while this Synod recognises the right of any branch of the Christian Church.to teach its religion, and apply its discipline to its own people, it nevertheless is of opinion that the evidence produced before the Committee of the Legislature which sat recently at Wellington indicates that the Roman Catholic Church declares that a Roman Catholic who is pnrtv to a mixed marriage, is guilty of the sin of adultery, if such marriage has been celebrated in a Registry Office or by a non-Roman Minister of religion. The Synod holds that such a &e~, clartion inflicts a cruel and unmerited injustice on the non-Roman party t> such union, and on children born from such marriage. It therefore calls upon the Legislature to give such parties who have committed no offence against the law of Christ 0- of morality, all the protection and remedy that the law can afford.
