Annul Rites of Rabbi
Performed by Himself
MONTREAL (JTA) — A per-
son cannot perform his own
marriage ceremony in the
Province of Quebec, Associate
Chief Justice W. B. Scott ruled
here in annulling a marriage
contracted by a rabbi in
Montreal nearly three years
ago.
The marriage was performed
in accordance with Hebrew law
and in the presence of sev-
eral witnesses, but was not
listed in any civil register.
Annullment was granted at
the petition of the rabbi who
recalled in his plea that his
wife by an earlier . marriage
was alive and that that mar-
riage had never been dissolved.
The judge reprimanded the
plaintiff rabbi, considering the
position he occupied in the
community. He said that the
defendant also had not acted
in good faith, as, from the evi-
dence, the court was satisfied
that she knew the plaintiff's
wife was still living at the
time of the _second marriage.

VIENNA (JTA) — The Aus-
trian Parliament agreed to send
