Legislative Attack On "Heart Balm", Nathan P. Feinsinger May 1935

Legislative Attack On "Heart Balm", Nathan P. Feinsinger

Michigan Law Review

Public resentment over the abuses incident to "heart balm" suits has recently culminated in sweeping legislative reform. Through the repeated efforts of a woman legislator, Indiana has abolished actions for seduction of females over twenty-one years of age, for breach of promise to marry, and for criminal conversation and alienation of affections. Almost immediately New York, and shortly thereafter Illinois, passed similar legislation, and at least ten other states are now considering analogous proposals.


Domestic Relations-Right Of Wife To Consortium-Negligent Injury To Husband May 1935

Domestic Relations-Right Of Wife To Consortium-Negligent Injury To Husband

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sued for loss of the opportunity to bear children by her husband resulting from his emasculation caused by defendant's negligence. The court below dismissed the complaint.

It cannot be said that the wrong is the proximate cause of the loss because of the many elements of doubt and conjecture in connection with the birth of children. Landwehr v. Barbas, 24I App. Div. 769, 270 N. Y. S. 534 (I934).
