MARRIAG£-INSANITY AS GROUND FOR ANNULMENT

Authors

Abstract

Complainants sought to annul the marriage of their deceased brother on the ground that defendant, his widow, knowing him to be insane at the time, fraudulently procured the marriage. A statute provided for divorce on the ground, among others, of insanity at the time of marriage. On demurrer, held that the marriage was, under the statute, voidable only, could only be attacked directly in the life-time of the parties, and hence was not subject to collateral attack by the relatives after the death of the incompetent spouse. White v. Williams (Miss. 1931) 132 So. 573.
