The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 75

Insanity

Insanity.

The proposal to constitute habitual drunkennees and insanity grounds of dissolution of the marriage bond rests on a somewhat different basis, but one which is, I am convinced, perfectly sound. And the day cannot be far distant when people will look with horror upon the superstition that a marriage between parties one of whom has the taint of hereditary insanity can be rendered holy and indissoluble by a religious or legal ceremony. By he new Civil Code of Germany, which comes into operation in 1900, incurable insanity is made a ground of dissolution.
