New State Law Abolishes Mecca Of Married Elopers
Connecticut passes an amendment to the marriage license law restricting issuance when both applicants are nonresidents and requiring probate district approval for delay waivers. The change aims to curb elopements and costly quick marriages seen in towns like Greenwich and Plaindealer era cases, citing prior instances involving Merritt Lane and others. It signals a move toward uniformity in marriage and divorce laws across states.
