War widows and afterwar divorce reform urged in England
A wartime marriage crisis is estimated at 400000 children and a half million separations. The Divorce Law Reform Union urges relaxing laws to allow unhappy couples to start anew, arguing divorce could aid population recovery and reduce social harm. Bishop Wellden cautions against easy divorce but supports alleviating truly unhappy marriages with church sanction for the innocent party.
