Translated Opinions

The appellant, an Israel Jew belonging to the Caucasian community, married in the year 1936. He married a second time in the year 1950 while the first marriage still subsisted. He was convicted of bigamy under s. 181 of the Criminal Code Ordinance, 1936 1) and sentenced to imprisonment for one year. On appeal it was argued that s. 181 was ultra vires the powers of the High Commissioner by reason of Article 17(1)(a) 2)2) of the Palestine Order in Council 1922 (as amended) in that the section introduced discrimination between the inhabitants of Palestine, namely, between Moslems and Jews, …

Domestic Relations, John L. Westmoreland

Mercer Law Review

The General Assembly of Georgia, during the 1950 regular session, enacted three statutes modifying and repealing existing statutes dealing with divorce and domestic relations.

Probably the most important change in the divorce laws of Georgia was the amendment by the I950 Legislature of Code Section 30-107 reducing the required period of a petitioner's residence within the state before filing an application for divorce from twelve months to six months. The residence requirement of twelve months was enacted in 1893, and this amendment is the only change in the period of required residence since that time.

The Community Property Agreement Statute, Sidney R. Buckley

Washington Law Review

What is the meaning of our community property agreement statute, Rem. Rev. Stat. § 6894 [P.P.C. § 434-39]? Now might be a proper time to examine it and to attempt to determine its purpose, how it has been interpreted, and how well it carries out the purpose for which it was enacted. Though it was enacted by the territorial legislature in 1879, there have been few cases involving community property agreements.

Translated Opinions

A Civil Court in Paris granted a decree of divorce to the petitioner and second respondent (being respectively the wife and the husband), who were French nationals domiciled in France, and declared that the petitioner was entitled to the custody of the children, a girl aged seven years and a boy aged four and a half years at the time of the application, but ordered that the second respondent have access to them at stated times. On one of these occasions the second respondent smuggled the children out of France and brought them to Israel, where they were living with …

The Tennessee Law Of Adoption, William Merlin

Vanderbilt Law Review

On April 6, 1949, the Tennessee Legislature passed the most comprehensive adoption act in the state's history.' The purpose of this Note is to evaluate that statute, bringing up to date the status of the adoption law in the state. Primarily, it is hoped that this Note will be of help to the practicing lawyer; and for this reason, the text has been divided to show separately the procedural and substantive aspects of the law. Of course, the distinctions made are sometimes arbitrary and unnatural. At times natural sequence has been altered for the sake of clarity. But it is …

Informal Marriages In Tennessee--Marriage By Estoppel, By Prescription And By Ratification, Robert E. Kendrick

Vanderbilt Law Review

Tennessee courts have the means for upholding informal marriages whenever the social reasons are sufficiently strong to impel them to do so. This is a very desirable result, and one which is not open to the criticism that the courts are inviting or encouraging informal marriages as against the ceremonial, statutory marriage. These devices are not alternative means of attaining the marriage status ab initio, but are merely remedial devices looking backwards, which the courts may use on occasion when satisfied that it is for the good of the state and society, as well as for the parties and their …

Federal Estate And Gift Taxation-Adequacy Of Consideration In Transfers Connected With Divorce Proceedings Or Separation Agreements, Joseph G. Egan S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Today it is common procedure for a husband and wife, contemplating divorce or separation, to make an advance agreement concerning alimony and division of their property. Often this agreement will be adopted by the court in its decree of separation or divorce. It is the purpose of this comment to discuss the estate and gift tax consequences of such agreements. In order to understand properly the problems which have come up in connection with gift tax liability, it is necessary first to chart out the path taken under the estate tax.

Admissibility In Tennessee Of Spouses' Testimony Concerning Their Private Affairs, Barrett B. Sutton

Vanderbilt Law Review

In Tennessee neither husband nor wife may testify to matters occurring between them by reason of the marital relation.' The purpose of this rule is to insure "a free exchange of confidences" between husband and wife upon the theory that mutual confidence is a necessary element of successful marriage. The other states agree in principle; every state places some restriction upon the testimony of husband and wife. Although this Note is primarily concerned with Tennessee law, there are differences in the restrictions imposed by various states which make some comparison desirable. The common law is the starting point.

Shibli V. Shibli, Shneor Zalman Cheshin, Moshe Smoira, Simha Assaf

Translated Opinions

Under the Palestine Order in Council, 1922, a number of Christian "communities", including the Greek Catholic community but not including the Protestant community, were recognised and given the right to hold courts of their own with jurisdiction (which in some cases required the consent of the parties) in matters of personal status over members of their own community.

The petitioner was a Protestant and had married the first respondent, a member of the recognised Greek Catholic community, in a Greek Catholic church. There was one child of the marriage. The parties quarreled soon after the marriage and their disagreements led …
