MARRIAGE ANNU Eu ".- SCANDAL EBEC An Easy Way of Obtaining Di- vorce in the Eastern Province. | | Quebec, Sept. 10.--The decisions of judges in the Quebec inferior court, annuling the marriage of Ca- tholies "and non-Catholics performed by Protestant ministers, is becoming nothing less than a, scandal and an easy way of obtaining divorce," stat- ed Rev. Canon Scott, in the course of a statement he made to-day rela- tive to the annulment by Justice Bruneau of the marriage of . John Bernard Dahlemann and Gertrude Barbeau performed by him in Sep- tember, 1914. Canon Scott said the supreme court of Canada had decid- ed such marriages were legal and he hoped that in the public interest steps would be taken to put an end to the decisions of judges of the in- ferior courts, which enabled people by. consent to secure the nullification of sacred marriage obligations and bring unhappiness and the sting of illegitimacy upon innocent children.
