of rescinding the state by putting an end to that whereby the state
was established and sustained, the marriage consent. To use or to
waive the exercise of this right rests with the party to whom the
right itself has been granted by the Lawgiver. In the decision whether
the state should continue, the guilty party is entirely at the mercy
of the innocent party until the decision has been rendered, and this
decision is final. If the injured party decide to condone and uphold
the existing relation, both parties are and remain bound as they were
before the offense. If the innocent party decide not to condone, but
to rescind and thus to terminate the existing relation, both parties
are free as they were before the relation was entered into and estab-
lished. This final decision must be the free act of the party entitled
to this remedy, and condonation brought about by duress 01' fraud is
not condonation and leaves the case open for final decision. Of course,
the innocent party cannot condone, or refuse to condone, before having
obtained knowledge of the offense, and the burden of proof, when the
charge is denied, rests with the offended party." Neither does the
fact that A. has condoned one case of fornication while being ignorant
of other cases committed either before or after the case condoned
prohibit him from obtaining a divorce if these cases become known to
him later and can be proved by him.
Self-evidently the convicted adulterer must be subjected to dis-
cipline, unless he is repentant and willing to ask the forgiveness of
the wronged spouse and make public amends if, and to the extent that,
the offense is publicly known. TI-l. LAETSOH.
