Each divorce decree granted by the judge states that neither party shall marry a third per son within a period of six months after the decree. Asked about the Oregon law on remarriage Judge Felton pointed out that it in no way affects the remarriage of the two persons granted the divorce and that if they chose they could remarry each other immediate ly after the divorce was grant ed. The clause in the Oregon law governing remarriage of di vorceed persons dates back to 1862. At that time the law simply stated that there could be no remarriage until after appeal or the expiration of the time of appeal. It was in 1913 that the clause which does not permit remar riage until six months have elapsed was added. That clause has continued down to the pres ent date. At times the Oregon legisla ture has passed laws validating marriage entered into in less than six months and legitimiz ing children of such marriages.
