The American Bar Association addresses marriage and divorce Waiting period would put a stop to 'hasty and irregular' marriages. By JDGee With all the talk of family values that's swirled about in recent years, it was of considerable interest to find the American Bar Association developed its own proposal for stopping divorce in its tracks by putting the brakes on "hasty and irregular" marriages. This would be effected by instituting a waiting period of at least five days between the issuance of the marriage license and the wedding ceremony. The purpose of this, of course, would be to give sufficient time such that "the official issuing the license may investigate the representations of the applicants." Should irregularities surface in information provided by the applicants or should suspicions in general be aroused, the issuing authority could require the contracting parties "to convince a judge of that particular jurisdiction that a certificate [of marriage] should be issued." In addition, the ABA proposal would mandate that during the waiting period, the names and addresses of the prospective bride and groom "be posted in a conspicuous place." Ladies and gentlemen, what say ye? (Based on an article in the Portland Telegram, Portland, Oregon, and republished in the January 22, 1913 edition of the Adair County News. The Telegram gave its source as "the Continent.") This story was posted on 2014-02-26 14:13:31
