MARRIAGE LAWS.
(Montreal (lazette.)
Mr. Justice Riddell, Speaking at Toron-
to on the marriage question as recent ev-
ents have brought it to the fore, pointed
out that no church has any right to asty
that a marrtage celebrated according to
the saw Is not vaild; no church can
change the lilw; a marriage is valid or
invalid, not because the church mays se,
but beeause the law says so. Keeping
LbIi In memore should prevent some er-
rors by those who discuss the issue. A
marriage was recently annuted iti this
Province beeause the law of Quebee soya
that marriages contraeted in defiance of
church regulations shall be null. The
Legtslature made the law that recognized
eeelkelastleal impedimenta to Marriage;
and thet Legislature can eilloge it.
