20 Kremer v’. Ridgway [1949] 1 All E.R. 662. “If it is necessary for my decision (though I doubt it), I would say that, while it is true that this particular type of contract - the exchange of mutual promises to marry ends, so far as legal enforcement is concerned, on the performance of the marriage ceremony, nonetheless the performance which the parties contemplated at the time they exchange mutual promises is not exhausted by the performance of a mere ceremony. I am quite sure that no young woman, when she accepts a proposal of marriage and a contract is formed, would be satisfied if she were told that all the young man is undertaking by the promise is to go through a form or ceremony of mutual promises to become one another's spouses - to become husband and wife with dali that that should entail."

23 Ibid. It was held that the plaintiff could maintain an action for breach, although the defendant's father was still alive. Equally in Donoghue v. Marshall [1875] 32 L.T. 310, where the parties had agreed to marry in May 1875 and the defendant broke the engagement in February 1875, it was held that the plaintiff might sue at once for breach without waiting until May.

24 It might be argued that he has not necessarily done so, because if A in January promises to marry B in December, and in March A marries C, it is possible that C will die before December, and A will then be in a position to marry B. The answer to this is either (1) that an engagement places both parties in a special status, that of betrothal, which comports the existence of the betrothal, so that so doing would be a breach of such duty (this view was adopted by Byles, J. in Frost v. Knight, ante, at p. 118, though it was clearly obiter or (2) that an engagement is an agreement to marry in the state in which the parties are at the time of the agreement. So if A, a bachelor, promises to marry B in December, he cannot fulfill that promise as a widower. This view was expressed by Lord Denman, C.J. in Short v. Stone [1846] 8 0.B. 358, 369; it is submitted that his statement was a part of the ratio decidendi of the case, and that view is to be preferred to that of Byles, J. 25 Harrison

“In the present

Sir

the adulterous

intercourse had started without any fault on the part of the wife, her position, when she discovered it, was very difficult. If she, with a corrupt intention, then behaved in such a way as to promote or encourage

in

my opinion, corrupt intention would mean in this case that the wife showed by her conduct that she willingly consented to the continuance of the adultery. If she showed by her conduct that she greatly desired it to cease, and communicated the desire both to her husband and his mistress, and took the best steps available to her, as she thought to stop it, I do not think she was guilty of connivance....

connivance,

In my opinion, therefore, the letters written by the wife to the husband and the governess after she discovered that adulterous association did not amount to connivance of subsequent adultery for she had reason to believe that he would be faithful to her again for he had promised to break off the adulterous relationship".

the respondent,

aware

perhaps only by hearing at trial and for the first time unbiased evidence of what he has been doing to his wife and perhaps still unable to understand why she wants a divorce, desperately wants a reconciliation. If I

thought there was 'a possibility of a reconciliation’ (as it is put in section 8(1) of the Act), I would readily accede

to

his counsel's submission. I might in a case where it seemed not inappropriate even go farther than the Act specifically authorizes and reserve judgment so as to prevent the start of the running of the fourteen days referred to in section 8(2) and thereby give the parties unlimited time in which to try and make their marriage a success. On the evidence I find that there is no possibility of a reconciliation. I am satisfied on the evidence that the petitioner will not go back and live with her husband as his wife and I hold that there will be a reconciliation cannot create ‘a possibility of a reconciliation" where the
