Marriage Failures Now One In Five (Rec. 1.15 p.m.) LONDON. June 25,
The marriage breakdown rate has now reached the appalling figure of approximately one in five, said the secretary of the National Marriage Guidance Council (Dr D. R. Mace) in a speech at Edinburgh. He added-* that the figure before the war was one in 20.
Dr Mace considered that 90 per cent of the couples who resorted to the divorce courts need not do so. The remedy lay in more adequate preparation for marriage and the establishment of district advice councils.
