Spreading of Information concern ing Nebraska's new marriage law has been undertaken by the Nebraeka League of Women Voters as the re sult of a resolution favoring such ac tion passed at the last state conven tion. Members of the league declare that the object of the law hae been great ly misunderstood, which Interferes seriously with Its successful opera tion. The resolution passed at the last convention urges the members of the league to study the law, and give publicity to Its provisions. Following are the outstanding provisions of the new law as com plied by the league: No person afflicted with venereal dis ease shall ba allowed to marry and the county Judge before Issuing a license must require an affidavit from each ap plicant stating that sold applicant la free from any venereal disease. No person, who has been adjudged an Imbecile or a feeble-minded person or a person who is or. has been adjudged af flicted with hereditary epilepsy or hered itary Insanity shall marry In this state, until after he or she has submitted to an operation for sterilisation. The license ' must be obtained from the couuty Judge and in the county where in the marriage Is to take place. No marriage hereafter contracted shall be recognised as valid unless such license has been previously obtained and the marriage solemnised by a person author ized by law to solemnise marriages. A written notice of intention to marry and containing data required by law and signed by the contra<#ing parties must bo posted Jn a conspicuous place In the county court house by the county Judge for a 10-day period before the Issuing of the license. The 10 days’ notice may be dispensed with, on written order of coun ty court, if good cause can be shown which make* a period of delay unwise. The 10-davs notice is the most radical change in the new Nebraska law. It follows the old custom of 'declaring the bans’'—a procedure which prevails in Eu ropean countries and in some or tha churches In this country. Its purpose Is to prevent hasty mar riage*. It is a barrier against illegal marriages or those contrary to the best lntertsts of the Individuals or of society. Eight sfaLee have such a barrier though the average Interval between the apjdi cation and Issuing of license Is only five day* lnitcad of 10 day* a* our new law provides. Ten days' notice give* ample tlvn* for the notification of parent*, for the filing of protest against the marriage of thoae known to be mentally or physi cally unfit u marry, and gives the con tracting parties time for reflection.
