CRUELTY IS CAUSE
OF MOST
ACCORDING TO CENSUS
OF DIVORCE RECORDS; DE
SERTION NEXT.
Time w r as when desertion w ; as the
popular ground for divorce but now it
is cruelty.
Reports to the commerce depart
ment front the various states on mar
riage and divorces revealed Saturday
night that more divorces are now
being granted for cruelty than for any
other reason, although desertion di
vorces are steadily increasing.
The last decennial census of mar
riages and divorce, taken in 1916,
showed desertions responsible for 39,
990 divorces, the greatest number for
any one reason, But when annual
censuses were started in 1922 it was
found that cruelty was responsible for
disruption of the largest number of
marriages.
The 1916 census ascribed cruelty as
the reason for 30,752 agreements to
disagree and in 1924 more than twice
that number, when 62,529 divorces
were granted by the courts, A steady
increase in divorces for desertion was
noted in the figures for 1922, 1923 and
1924.
The state reports also bring to light
the fact that less divorces for drunk
enness have been granted since pro
hibition started, despite the enormous
increase in population. The reports
show fewer divorces in 1924 for drunk
enness than in 1916, although the pop
ulation increased approximately 12,
000,000, but they also disclosed that
each year since 1922 more husbands
and wives have parted because of too
much liquor.
In 1916 3,652 divorces for drunken
ness were sanctioned by the courts.
In 1922 they fell to 1,536, but rose to
2,139 in 1923 and 2,317 in 1924.
States now are submitting reports
on marriages and divorces last year
year and 35, including the District of
Columbia, already have been received.
Marriages in these 35 states totaled
635,437, an increase of 728 over 1924.
Divorces total 98,541, an increase of
‘2,139 over the previous year. Twenty
states reported decreases in marriages
while 15 reported increases. Twenty
three states reported increases in di
vorces while 11 reported decreases.
No divorce figures were submitted by
South Carolina, as they are not allow
ed by law there.
