ANTIPATHY TO KISSING
HUSBAND SUED FOR DIVORCE. AN UNPRECEDENTED CASE. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, April 1. The Sun-Herald News Agency says that English divorce law authorities are awaiting with interest a Paris case in which a young French society woman is seeking a divorce because her husband allegedly refused to kiss her. The husband stated that he had had from childhood a deep-rooted antipathy to kissing or being kissed. The case is unprecedented in legal history, and a prominent London divorce lawyer states that the pleas may be included in the category of mental cruelty or incompatibility of temperament, thus providing successful grounds for a judicial separation. Mrs M. Tideman, secretary of the Divorce Law Reform Union, says that she can only regard such behaviour of a man towards a woman as abnormal. Such cases require sympathetic investigation, she states.
