lnl#marriage BaiiCy tercet In
Oklahoma by CivH liberies Union
NEW YORK—The American
Civil Liberties Union announced
today it is supporting a chaltenge
of thejhqpnslitutionaiity of Okta :
laws which forbid inter
marria£/*between 'Ahite and Ne
gro. yA; . „
A frw»d-of-the-court brief filed
in the' Oklahoma Supreme Court
contend#,, that the laws, aimed
violate their
equal protection and due proces::
rights by the Four
teenth lajjendment. The brief sup
ports ft#"ease of Francine Aline
Jones, jSw African descent." and
Jesse ttM'quez. "not of African
are suing for the
right W^narry.
the status of misce
genatiop statutes, the ACLLJ point*-
out that their validity has not
been finally adjudicated in the
federal cburts. It emphasizes, how
ever, the United States Supreme
Court December 7, 1964 decision
in McLaughlin vs. Florida, which
"reaffirmed the idea that race
alone could not be made the basis
cf punitive statutes" and suggests
that the court need not be govern
ed by prior decision which upheld
miscegenation laws. The McLaugh
lin case concerned only
tion between Negroes and whiles,
not marriage.
Many other legal decisions are
cited to prove that the courts con
demn "legislative classification" of
individuals by race, or any dis
tinction in their treatment, as a
violation of the Fourteenth Amend
ment.- Moreover, the brief main
tains that Francine Aline Jones
has been denied not only her
equal protection rights under the
Constitutibn, but statutory civil
rights which are granted white
them the right to
obtain a marriage license.
Marriage, the ACLU says, is an
inalienable right which cannot be
tampered with by the state. It
cited cases of Meyer vs. Ne
braska, and Skinner vs. Oklahoma,
in which the U. S. Supreme Court
expre£sed the vie - *- that marriage
is a fundamental right of liberty
of the Individual, which is protect
ed by, .the, Fourteenth Amendment,
The v/«w that marriage is a social,
right rather than a civil right,
which Underlies the Oklahoma
statute, the brief asserts, isfun

The ACLU argues further that
the Oklahoma miscege'na,tion sta
tutes are capricious, unreasonable
and arbitrary, and therefore vio-
Jative of the plaintiffs' due pro
cess rights. The statutes, it claims,
are based upon "''racial, prejudice,
jgnorance, irrational fears, arbi;
trary assumptions of the inferi
ority of the noncaucasian persons
and tenuous claims of protection
of health." which have no con
nection with legitimate legislative
purposes. •
In conclusion, the ACLU brief
states: "The real issne in this con
troversy is the basic issue of racial
discrimination. For fcertainly the
thought of intermarriage is the
odious aspect of integration to
those who would perpetuate the
badges and bonds of slavery. Yet,
it is the same power structure that
decries governmental interference
with individual rights that now
so arbitrarily interferes with this
most personal right of marriage."
