Protesters Burn Marriage Licenses Over California Divorce Bill
A group of women staged a burn in protest in Long Beach against California divorce reform. They burned copies of marriage licenses on Ocean Boulevard in front of Assemblyman James Hayes's office, denouncing changes that reduce grounds for divorce. The bill, already passed by the Legislature, would limit divorces to insanity or irreconcilable differences with Reagan expected to sign. The law would take effect January 1, 1970, influencing cross border divorce timelines.
