There are other bars to marâ€" riage recognized in different States, all having certain prohibitions on acâ€" count 6f blood or kinship. Consanguinous Marriages are generally abhorred among civâ€" llized nations. Although his father, Amram, had married Jochebed, a paâ€" ternal aunt, Moses prohibited by the Levitical law marriage among lineal kindred of near blood and deâ€" clared such practices an abomination in the sight of God. By this, law a, Hebrew was forbidden to marry his mother, or his sister, or his daughâ€" ter, or bis aunt, and women were Patiiiitst it h ts ts d o Bs c i4 Ti d i 111 in the statute of clandestine marâ€" rlages. In some localities, when there are secret marriages between minors, both bride and groom are subâ€" jected to punishment ; in others, the penalty is directed to the party celeâ€" brating the marriage ; in still others, to the person issuing the license ; while in some States liabilities atâ€" tach to all concerned, and in a _ few instances the property rights of the wife or husband are involved. Even for a first marriage it is sometimes essential to study the geography. A man may elope with a girl who is less than sixteen in New Jersey and contract a valid marriâ€" age with her, whereas in New York he would be guilty of abduction, and liable to a term of imprisonment. In New Mexico the bride would have to be less than fourteen to fall withâ€" and the only difficulty is to find them and to live in the place where they apply long enough to acquire a resiâ€" dence. The mismated must always avoid one State, South Carolina, where no divorces are granted for any cause. If a person has no grounds for diâ€" vorce here, he can surely find some State where any particular grievance that he may have will be sufficient, for there are Nothing would be more dangerous than to assume that because a reâ€" marriage of a divorced person might be legal in New Jersey it could be contracted anywhere in the Union. In some places guch a marriage would be bigamous, and a mistake wou‘!ld inâ€" volve dire results. and families scattered through as many different States. Each is bound to him by the laws of the State where the marriage was contracted, and he may always have acted withâ€" in the letter of the law in contractâ€" ing and in severing his marital ties. Again it comes down to a question of geography. Ignorance of law is never an exâ€" cuse for failure to obey it, and it is always advisable to obtain good legal advice before leaving home to conâ€" tract a second marriage. The averâ€" age lawyer finds that he has as much work as he cares to do in attemptâ€" ing to keep up with the laws of his own State. He may have had occaâ€" sion to look up the statutes or the I:gal reports o! cther commonwealths upon certain points in which he took gpecial interest, but he cannot preâ€" tend to keep posted about all the work done by the legislatures and courts of Idaho, of Arkansas, of Delaâ€" ware, and of New Hampshire, for inâ€" stance. Indeed, it is not easy when he desires to investigate the law apâ€" plicable to a case in hand in a foreign Etate to find that law. The New York lawyer usually has to send to some practitioner in the particu‘ar State to obtain his information. and families many differe to him by where the m and he may : in the letter ing and in e« more children. 1 mate at home, other State.

Is it proper that one womaAn shou! d be a man‘s legal wife in Brooklyn, while another is bound to him in holy wedlock in Sioux Falls, that he should be a bigamist here, and observer of the marriage law there? Stop a moment and consider the serious complications that are bound to reâ€" sult, affecting not only property rights, but what is still more imâ€" portant, the legitimacy of offspring. These vital questions are now Regulated by Geography. The cage carried to the Supreme Court of the United States involved this point: A man goes to Eouth Dakota, sues for divorce and obtains a decree which is valid in that State, giving him the privilege of contractâ€" ing another marriage.
