Validity of Religious Marriage Condition in Will
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe dispute involved the validity of a will provision that required beneficiaries to marry within a specific religious sect, with failure to comply resulting in forfeiture of the bequest. The court reasoned that the condition precedent was unambiguous and lawful, not violating public policy, as it did not impose an unreasonable restraint on marriage or require an illegal act, but rather offered an incentive for marrying within a particular faith, which is permissible under established precedent concerning conditional gifts in wills.
