Court Upholds Use of Contraceptives in Marriage
Britain’s House of Lords rules that a husband or wife may use contraceptives without it constituting a refusal to consummate marriage or grounds for divorce. The decision, delivered unanimously by the law lords led by the Lord Chancellor Lord Jo Witt, questions whether procreation is the main aim of marriage. Frederick Charles Baxter, a suburban London laborer, had argued his wife’s demand for contraception amounted to refusal to consummate. Lower courts were upheld in ruling against Baxter.
