Rules Wedding Is Voidable in California Case
Four year old Marjoe Gortner's marriage service is found voidable by Los Angeles county counsel Ray Dowds who says the law requires a duly ordained minister to conduct a valid ceremony. Dowds says a child of that age cannot be competent to act as a minister and questions the legality of the Long Beach chapel wedding in which Navy storekeeper Raymond Miller and Alma Brown wed while Gortner was ordained in October by the Church of the Old Tithe Faith. Several judges questioned the marriage legality and clergymen criticized permitting a child to perform the rite.
