ARGENTINA'S "RENO."
Divorce is not recognised in. Argentina, and consequently many mismated couples have made a Reno of Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, across the Hiver Platte. In some ways Montevideo provides a more convenient spot for severing marital bonds than either Reno or Parjs, because suits can be brought there by power of attorney. "Incompatibility of temperament" is among the accepted grounds. ' Pi'6cedure in Uruguay is similar to that under French law, in that three months are allowed for "conciliation," at the end of which time the would-be divorcees appear, in person or by attorney, to explain that they still want to be legally separated. At the end of three months a decree is granted. Uruguayan divorces granted to Argentine citizens are recognised by the civil law in Buenos : Ayres if they are registered with the Argentine authorities. But without this registration an Argentine divorced in Uruguay may, if he marries again in Buenos Ayres, be liable to prosecution for bigamy.
