New Marriage Laws in New England

Massachusetts, it is reported, has passed a law regulating marriage, which went into force January 1, 1912, to the effect that he who wishes to marry must file public notice of his intention at least five days previous to obtaining his license. This gives five days for objectors and protesters and questioners, and if there are valid objections offered, the license will not be issued. It is also reported that Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Rhode Island have passed similar laws.
