MARRIAGE OUESTION
OPENS LEGAL DEBATE
A lot of inquiries reach offices In
the county courthouse, but one that
the postman brought today from an
army officer at an air corps train- *
lng center in Georgia was definitely
In n clam by Itself. Indeed. It was so
knotty that it was forwarded "to the.'
state attorney general for his opinion.
The army officer wanted to know
If North Carolina recognises "marriage
by proxy," and -horseback opinion
of officials was in the negative.
"There were a lot of details that both
prea tne nmaaia minus, oven witnout
trying to give an answer.
According to the Inquiry, It appeared
that a young American and
a 24-year-old young woman In Montevideo,
Uruguay, want to be married,
but there are the harrier* of
dlatance and the Immigration and
passport.. laws. However _ ^officials
were of the opinion that the writer
was wrong In assuming that the
South American could not obtain permission
to enter thla country.
Anyway, It seems that the. Intended
bridegroom cannot . go to South
America for hla bride, and the only
solution that presented Itaelf to the
young couple apparently wan the
i possibility of marriage by proxy. ..' V;
Conaenan* at the courthouse waa.^'yl,
that a person may do lots of things
by proxy hut one of these Is not get- '
I ting married.
