Title
Der Bolschewismus droht
Description
Rails against the marriage implementation regulations, which came into force on 1 April 1943. State has the right to decide whether marriage should be dissolved, and widow can then lose everything. It can apply if deceased has not yet filed for divorce if they were unaware of misconduct and would have wanted a divorce. It could potentially make widows prey to unscrupulous claims and to slander. Stresses the need for women to fight back.
Urges wives to get their husbands to have the cited declaration drawn up without delay to protect their wives and their children. The declaration can be issued by a company commander instead of a solicitor. The declaration prevents divorce proceedings being carried out against their wife. Any extramarital relations, because of the exigencies of war, are forgiven and if the divorce comes through after their husband’s death, the wife is the sole beneficiary.
Prior to this, marriage could not be dissolved if a spouse died during court proceedings. The surviving spouse had the legal status of widow and a claim to their earnings. Moreover, they could retain their spouse’s surname. The writer deems this to be unfair, particularly during a time of war. The new regulation gives a right to divorce to the deceased if it were the fault of the other spouse. The procedure must be initiated by the attorney general and is said to be followed only in the most difficult cases for the public good. The legal status of the divorced spouse can be removed from their spouse’s date of death. They then are no longer a legal beneficiary and can be prevented from retaining their married name. A court ruling can exceptionally be made if the deceased has not yet applied for a divorce and the deceased was unaware of their spouse’s serious misconduct. The attorney general can only make use of his powers if it is proven or safe to assume that the deceased would have wanted a divorce if they were aware of the facts and their death prevented this.
Dr. Walter Platzhoff gave lecture in Budapest on 7 April. Maternity Protection Act also to apply to women carrying out compulsory service. Ration card put in place for mourning clothes. Changes to start of lesson times after an air raid siren. Description of permitted lighting levels.
