DIVORCE IN CANADA
There were 1870 divorces granted in Canada last year, of which 1825 were granted by the courts of seven provinces and 45 by Parliament for the provinces of Quebec and Prince Edward Island—43 in the former and two in the latter—which have no divorce courts.
As compared with 1936, there was an increase of 344 divorces, or 22.5 per cent. Wives sought release in 63.4 per cent, of the successful applications last year.
