Count Rudolf Schirding Marriage Invalid Under Austrian Law
The Austrian Supreme Court, reporting from Berlin via London dated June 2, ruled that a Christian non-Christian marriage law applies to contracts made outside Austria. It invalidates Count Rudolf Schirding's marriage to a Berlin Protestant after he left the Roman Catholic Church in 1913 and wed in 1914, later returning to Catholicism. The ruling upholds lower court decisions that barred the union, as non Christians may marry Jews but not Catholics or Protestants under Austrian law.
