"The divorce law on this ques- | tion is archaic," says Lady Helen | Nutting, energetic chairman of the | Association. | "It enables the woman literally | to be sold by her husband to the other man, and the other man is | made to pay heavy toll for having | won' her affections. "This law should be abolished. | Tt is not in keeping with the eman- | cipation of women that they should be treated as chattels." | The Association has made repeat- ed representations to parliament on | this and other matters. | Currently a campaign is being | waged to obtain equal financial sta- | tus for husbands and wives "with 5 | eaual sharing of all money after | household expenses have been paid. Lack Speading Money Many of the Association's 2,000 members have reported cases,where wives receive much less spening money than their husbnads. { "It is most unfair when you con- | sider that a -woman works much | longer hours in the home than the | man does in his office or factory," | Lady Nutting said. "We are well aware that a great ! many men make an honorable div- | ision of their earnings with their | wives. There are unfortunately many exceptions." | Question of whether a long term | of imprisonment should qualify a | husband or wife to a divorce is to | be discussed by the Association la- | [ter in the year. Under the Matri- | monial Causes Act, 1937, a wife may obtain a divorce on desertion grounds only if the husband has wilfully deserted her for three years or more. "She cannot get a divorce if her | husband is absent through a long term of imprisonment," Lady Nut- | ting pointed out, "and it is possi- | ble we may decide to promote an amending clause to the divorce law in this respect. Founder of 'the Association is Miss Juanita Frances, so insistent | | on a women's "personal rights" that | she will not use her married name in connection with Association matters. ji.
