MARRIAGE LAWS
FRANCE REDUCES AGE LIAHT
LONDON, Alarch 12,
A proposal to reduce to 21 yetfvp, the age at which a son or a daughter in France need riot ask the parental consent to get married has just passed the Senate. Even that age may seem high in English eyes-, hut it must lie remembered that until 1926 a French? man of 69' who wanted to marry was; obliged to -obtain the consent of Irish father, if alive, or failing' that consent, to give the father 15 days’ notice, sent- in legal form through a notnire. Otherwise, the marriage was not valid. Soon after the war, the age at which the consent of both parents was no longer necersary was reduced to 25, and in 1927 the consent of the Ether only —or the afore-aid legal notice to him —was all that was required of anyone ever 21. If the prer-er.t proe.osol .passes into law, that obligation will be .abolished for nil those who are of age. For thewe who are not, yet 21, be they gob's or (V-ughters, pa,rental consentwill remain indispensable for a legal marriage.
