their withdrawal, the Hungarians

LONDON , May 14— A Russian
wife is required to support her hus
band if she be able to do so and he is
unable to work and in need of her sup
port, under the marriage laws of So
viet Russia. A copy of this code, trans
lated into Knglish has just reached
London from the Russian People’s
Commissariat of Justice.
It provides that married persons
shall be expected to support each
other. Should one.refuse and the other
be what is classed as a ‘‘needful/’ un
fit to work, the latter has the right to
apply to the Department of Social Se- j
curity to compel the husband or wife,
as the case may be, to pay support.
Mutual consent of husband and wife
or merely the desire of one of them to
be freed from the other may be con
sidered as grounds for divorce. Lo
i cal judges are authorized to hear di
vorce cases but their decisions are
subject to appeal.
The matrimonial age is fixed at 18
fof men and Id for girls. Both must
be of sound mind and mutually desir
ous of marriage. Differences of re
ligion or vows or celibacy are no im
pediment. Married persons may choose
hear the surname of the bride or of
the bridegroom or their joint names.
Marriages contracted in accordance
with wligiou* forms art not binding
