Bill on divorce law debated in House of Lords
Turspay May 20. Lord Kenmare moved the second reading of a bill to reform divorce and matrimonial causes. The proposal would create an ecclesiastical court to handle divorces with viva voce evidence and possible jury involvement, plus a three month appeal window to the Lords. Critics urged referment to a select committee, arguing the measure remains insufficient and unjust to wives, favoring stronger protections and broader inquiry into property, alimony, and cruelty.
