    1. [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] South Central Indiana Counties: Divorce Law in the North Less Restrictive Than That in the South-1898

    3. Bedford (IN) Weekly Mail, December 23, 1898, p. 1. By the present law, a divorce may be granted on most any charge. The ministers of Indiana propose to limit that to the one cause, adultery. Legal separation may be allowed, but neither party will be permitted to marry again. One good old man has been often heard to remark that "up north a man can get a divorce if his wife burns the bread." The Southern states adhere much more closely to the scriptures on the divorce subject than do the Northern states. -Odon Commercial
