Saxe-Coburg

Saxe-Coburg.

"From various considerations, such marriages here have become very common. So far are such marriages from being opposed to public opinion, that people are, on the contrary, inclined to consider them both natural and desirable. We express our conviction that there ought to exist perfect liberty between widowers and the sisters of their late wives to contract such marriage."—Ducal Saxe-Coburg, Ministry in Council.
