Adams v. Adams

Adams v. Adams
Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas · Decided January 5, 1925 · Reno
6 Pa. D. & C. 294; 1925 Pa. Dist. & Cnty. Dec. LEXIS 371

Counsel

John H. Diefenderfer, for libellant.

Adams v. Adams

Opinion of the Court

Reno, P. J.,

The age of the respondent is nowhere stated, and one gathers in reading the testimony that respondent was quite young when she married libellant. At least, she was imprisoned when fourteen years old and, apparently, soon thereafter she married libellant. The marriage took place five years ago. There is a possibility, therefore, that respondent is still a minor. If so, a decree against her in the present state of the record would be invalid for lack of proper parties.

Now, Jan. 5, 1925, the report is recommitted to the master for the purpose of taking additional testimony, if any be offered.

From Edwin L. Kohler, Allentown, Fa.
