SHOULD WORKLESS MARRY
GERMAN COURT RULING. j ! j An unemployed man who married • J an unemployed woman at Cologne ; j failed in his claim for the family al- : | lowance granted in Germany in addi- ; I tion to the usual "dole." The local ! I court ruled: — I "An out-of-work with out savings j and with no immediate prospects of j finding employment who marries at • I a time lilce the present is acting in an j irresp'onsible manner towards his family and the State. "His claim to the additional benefit must therefore be repected dn the interests of the national finances." The out-of-work appealed against this decision, declaring that his marriage was to be defended on moral grounds, but a higher court ruled that considerations of finance were more important than those of private morality, and dismissed th'e lappeal.
