High court again rules against women
The Supreme Court rules against two groups of women in social security and marital name cases. A divorced wife under 62 caring for a child is denied Social Security benefits when the former husband retires, while married women in the same situation are offered none. In a separate driver licensing dispute, Sylvia Scott Whitlow in Kentucky cannot use her maiden name on her license. Justice Stewart notes Congress may have imperfect classifications and highlights the system’s aim to shield families from earnings loss.
