CHILDLESS MARRIAGES
«, APT TO TURN OUT BADLY. OBSERVATIONS BY BRITISH JUDGE. i (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) LONDON, October 22. Criticising childless marriages, after hearing divorce cases, Mr Justice Atkinson said: “Of 31 marriages which are subjects for petitions there have been no children in seventeen. It seems that the determination of married people not to have children is a very fruitful cause for their drifting apart. Children have been born in normal circumstances in only eight cases. In six cases the marriages have been forced. If people want to make married life a success they are not going the right way about it by deliberately abstaining from having children. This attitude does not make for happy marriages.”
