- (Syllabus by Editorial Staff.) 1. Marriage &wkey;>58(8) — Petition held not to show ground for annulling a marriage followed by cohabitation. A petition by husband to dissolve the marriage on ground that his consent was procured by threat of criminal prosecution and bodily harm held to state no cause of action, where it alleged cohabitation though alleging he lived ■with wife only three days, it being also alleged that husband consented to the marriage to avoid prosecution and bodily harm, as there was nothing to show necessity of cohabitation. 2. Marriage &wkey;>58(8) — Duress avoided by voluntary cohabitation. A marriage cannot be annulled for want of free consent of one of'the parties if they have cohabited as husband and wife freely and without constraint. Rev. Oiv. Code, art. 111.
