Child's case
Opinion of the Court
A man who, with notice and opportunity to meet the charge, allows a decree of divorce to be obtained against him upon the ground of any condition of mind or body or religious association which by law renders him unfit for the marriage state, is not to be granted leave by the court to marry again, without proof that he has changed his condition in this respect. The majority of the court is of opinion that this rule governs this case.
