Excerpt from Marriage in the United States The minimum age required by French law is eighteen years for the husband, and fifteen for the wife. There is also required the consent of the betrothed, that of the parents of both par ties, or, if there are none, that of the grandfa thers or grandmothers and even the assent of the counsel of the nearest relation, where there are no ascendants. In case of refusal, the cere mony cannot take place unless the man is twenty-five years old and the woman twenty-one, and the one to whom consent. Has been refused must seek assent by judicial procedure. The marriage must be preceded by a publication of the banns, registered at the offices of the compe tent mains, and is not valid unless performed by one of these mains, at his office, in the pres ence of four witnesses. The act must be signed by the parties, the witnesses, and the moire. It is, moreover, recorded in two special registers, one of which is deposited in the archives. Such is the substance of the law which sanctions and governs marriage in France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
