Show APPROVE NEW FRENCH LAW Youth of the Country Emancipated by Measure The youth of France says a Paris paper applauds the French lawmakers law-makers because of the bill which was recently passed wiping out a venerable vener-able clause In tho Code Napoleon The new law provides that a marriage mar-riage contract may be entered Into between be-tween a man and a woman each being 21 years old without the consent ol tho parents of either This says the French writer Is a long step toward the equality of man with woman The woman according to the old law was fully competent to make a marriage o agreement at 21 but the man although al-though of age In all other respects al that time of his life was compelled to wait four years If at 21 his parents refused to consent to his marriage Children love their parents just as much as they ever did says the writer but the abrogation of the law shows that the day of blind submissiveness I submissive-ness Is over and that the word subject sub-ject applied In tho family or the state has a bad and a musty taste |
