Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marriage and Divorce Laws of Massachusetts The design of this work is to present in a concise form the law and rules of practice regulating the proceedings in causes of divorce. The leading cases in which questions of divorce law have been considered and determined have been carefully collected and cited. While it professes to be a handbook of Massachusetts law, frequent references are made to the decisions elsewhere, whenever they coincide with our own, or directly tend to explain and elucidate the text. The volume contains a treatise upon the substantive law of divorce and nullity of marriage, together with the defences commonly employed in such cases; the statutes relating to marriage and divorce, including the legislation of 1902; citations from the first 181 volumes of the Massachusetts Reports, and an appendix of forms.
