MARRIAGE
(bouvier) | MARRIAGE. A contract made in due form of law, by which a free man and a free
woman reciprocally engage to live with each other during their joint lives,
in the union which ought to exist between husband and wife. By the terms
freeman and freewoman in this definition are meant, not only that they are
free and not slaves, but also that they are clear of all bars to a lawful
marriage. Dig. 23, 2, 1; Ayl. Parer. 359; Stair, Inst. tit. 4, s. 1;
Shelford on Mar. and Div. c. 1, s. 1.
2. To make a valid marriage, the parties must be willing to contract,
Able to contract, and have actually contracted.
3.-1. They must be willing to contract. Those persons, therefore, who
have no legal capacity in point of intellect, to make a contract, cannot
legally marry, as idiots, lunatics, and infant; males under the age of
fourteen, and females under the age of twelve, and when minors over those
ages marry, they must have the consent of their parents or guardians.
4. There is no will when the person is mistaken in the party whom he
intended to marry; as, if Peter intending to marry Maria, through error or
mistake of person, in fact marries Eliza; but an error in the fortune, as if
a man marries a woman whom he believes to be rich, and he finds her to be
poor; or in the quality, as if he marry a woman whom he took to be chaste,
and whom he finds of an opposite character, this does not invalidate the
marriage, because in these cases the error is only of some quality or
accident, and not in the person. Poynt. on Marr. and Div. ch. 9.
5. When the marriage is obtained by force or fraud, it is clear that
there is no consent; it is, therefore, void ab initio, and may be treated as
null by every court in which its validity may incidentally be called in
question. 2 Kent, Com. 66; Shelf. on Marr. and Div. 199; 2 Hagg. Cons. R.
246; 5 Paige, 43.
6.-2. Generally, all persons who are of sound mind, and have arrived
to years of maturity, are able to contract marriage. To this general rule,
however, there are many exceptions, among which the following may be
enumerated.
7.-1. The previous marriage of the party to another person who is
still living.
8.-2. Consanguinity, or affinity between the parties within the
prohibited degree. It seems that persons in the descending or ascending
line, however remote from each other, cannot lawfully marry; such marriages
are against nature; but when we come to consider collaterals, it is not so
easy to fix the forbidden degrees, by clear and established principles.
Vaugh. 206; S. C. 2 Vent. 9. In several of the United States, marriages
within the limited degrees are made void by statute. 2 Kent, Com. 79; Vide
Poynt. on Marr. and Div. ch. 7.
9.-3. Impotency, (q.v.) which must have existed at the time of the
marriage, and be incurable. 2 Phillim. Rep. 10; 2 Hagg. Rep. 832.
10.-4. Adultery. By statutory provision in Pennsylvania, when a person
is convicted of adultery with another person, or is divorced from her
husband, or his wife, he or she cannot afterwards marry the partner of his
or her guilt. This provision is copied from the civil law. Poth. Contr. de
Mariage, part 3, c. 3, art. 7. And the same provision exists in the French
code civil, art. 298. See 1 Toull. n. 555.
11.-3. The parties must not only be willing and able, but must have
actually contracted in due form of law.
12. The common law requires no particular ceremony to the valid
celebration of marriage. The consent of the parties is all that is
necessary, and as marriage is said to be a contract jure gentium, that
consent is all that is needful by natural or public law. If the contract be
made per verba de presenti, or if made per verba de futuro, and followed by
consummation, it amounts to a valid marriage, and which the parties cannot
dissolve, if otherwise competent; it is not necessary that a clergyman
should be present to give validity to the marriage; the consent of the
parties may be declared before a magistrate, or simply before witnesses; or
subsequently confessed or acknowledged, or the marriage may even be inferred
from continual cohabitation, and reputation as husband and wife, except in
cases of civil actions for adultery, or public prosecutions for bigamy. 1
Silk. 119; 4 Burr. 2057; Dougl. 171; Burr. Settl. Cas. 509; 1 Dow, 148; 2
Dow, 482; 4 John. 2; 18 John. R. 346; 6 Binn, 405; 1 Penn. R. 452; 2 Watts,
R. 9. But a promise to marry at a future time, cannot, by any process of
law, be converted into a marriage, though the breach of such promise will be
the foundation of an action for damages.
13. In some of the states, statutory regulations have been made on this
subject. In Maine and Massachusetts, the marriage must be made in the
presence, and with the assent of a magistrate, or a stated or ordained
minister of the gospel. 7 Mass. Rep. 48; 2 Greenl. Rep. 102. The statute of
Connecticut on this subject, requires the marriage to be celebrated by a
clergyman or magistrate, and requires the previous publication of the
intention of marriage, and the consent of parents; it inflicts a penalty on
those who disobey its regulations. The marriage, however, would probably be
considered valid, although the regulations of the statutes had not been
observed. Reeve's Dom. Rel. 196, 200, 290. The rule in Pennsylvania is, that
the marriage is valid, although the directions of the statute have not been
observed. 2 Watts, Rep. 9; 1 How. S. C. R. 219. The same rule probably
obtains in New Jersey; 2 Halsted, 138; New Hampshire; 2 N. H. Rep. 268; and
Kentucky. 3 Marsh. R. 370. In Louisiana, a license must be obtained from the
parish judge of the parish in which at least one of the parties is
domiciliated, and the marriage must be celebrated before a priest or
minister of a religious sect, or an authorized justice of the peace; it must
be celebrated in the presence of three witnesses of full age, and an act
must be made of the celebration, signed by the person who celebrated the
marriage, by the parties and the witnesses. Code, art. 101 to 107. The 89th
article of the Code declares, that such marriages only are recognized by
law, as are contracted and solemnized according to the rules which it
prescribes. But the Code does not declare null a marriage not preceded by a
license, and not evidenced by an act signed by a certain number of witnesses
and the parties, nor does it make such an act exclusive evidence of the
marriage. The laws relating to forms and ceremonies are directory to those
who are authorized to celebrate marriage. 6 L. R. 470.
14. A marriage made in a foreign country, if good there, would, in
general, be held good in this country, unless when it would work injustice,
or be contra bonos mores, or be repugnant to the settled principles and
policy of our laws. Story, Confl. of Laws, Sec. 87; Shelf. on M. & D. 140; 1
Bland. 188; 2 Bland. 485; 3 John. Ch. R. 190; 8 Ala. R. 48.
15. Marriage is a contract intended in its origin to endure till the
death of one of the contracting parties. It is dissolved by death or
divorce.
16. In some cases, as in prosecutions for bigamy, by the common law, an
actual marriage must be proved in order to convict the accused. See 6 Conn.
R. 446. This rule is much qualified. See Bigamy.
17. But for many purposes it may be proved by circumstances; for
example, cohabitation; acknowledgment by the parties themselves that they
were married; their reception as such by their friends and relations; their
correspondence, on being casually separated, addressing each other as man
and wife; 2 Bl. R. 899; declaring, deliberately, that the marriage took
place in a foreign country; 2 Moo. & R. 503; describing their children, in
parish registers of baptism, as their legitimate offspring; 2 Str. 1073; 8
Ves. 417; or when the parties pass for husband and wife by common
reputation. 1 Bl. R. 639; S. C. 4 Burr. 2057; Dougl. 174; Cowp. 594; 3
Swans. R. 400; 8 S. & R. 159; 2 Hayw. R. 3; 1 Taylor, R. 121; 1 H. & McH.
152; 2 N. & McC. 114; 5 Day, R. 290; 4 R. & M. 507; 9 Mass. R. 414; 4 John.
52; 18 John. 346. After their death, the presumption is generally
conclusive. Cowp. 591; 6 T. R. 330.
18. The civil effects of marriage are the following: 1. It confirms all
matrimonial agreements between the parties.
19.-2. It vests in the husband all the personal property of the wife,
that which is in possession absolutely, and choses in action, upon the
condition that he shall reduce them to possession; it also vests in the
husband right to manage the real estate of the wife, and enjoy the profits
arising from it during their joint lives, and after her death, an estate by
the curtesy when a child has been born. It vests in the wife after the
husband's death, an estate in dower in the husband's lands, and a right to a
certain part of his personal estate, when he dies intestate. In some states,
the wife now retains her separate property by statute.
20.-3. It creates the civil affinity which each contracts towards the
relations of the other.
21.-4. It gives the husband marital authority over the person of his
wife.
22.-5. The wife acquires thereby the name of her husband, as they are
considered as but one, of which he is the head: erunt duo in carne una.
23.-6. In general, the wife follows the condition of her husband.
24.-7. The wife, on her marriage, loses her domicil and gains that of
her husband.
25.-8. One of the effects of marriage is to give paternal power over
the issue.
26.-9. The children acquire the domicil of their father.
27.-10. It gives to the children who are the fruits of the marriage,
the rights of kindred not only with the father and mother, but all their
kin.
28.-11. It makes all the issue legitimate.
