MARRIAGE & CHILD
Please excuse us for the bad quality of this automatic translation which is being corrected for better comprehension
The density and the frequency of its publications, its lecture, the passion which it dedicates to science and research do not leave him any leisure. The port of imposing glasses, essential to overcome its handicap, hardly supports attraction and the physical seduction. One it known as austere, rigorous, severe but also cordial, shining talker and of a very wide culture.
It is the girl of a colleague, also enquiring who will leave it the celibacy. It marries Jeanne-Louise PHEASANTS the 16/6/1910, in Paris 8°. Jeanne is the girl of Doctor Michel Leon PHEASANTS, doctor of the hospitals and Eugènie CHAMPION which reside at the 30 of the street of Boétie. Henri PHEASANTS, senator of the Low Pyrenees, uncle of the bride is his witness at Me VIGIER, at the time of the drafting of the marriage contract, initialed of 14 signatures.
They live to the 2, street of Gesvre. They have a child, Henri Arthur (Henri, as the Senator whom one honours and Arthur, usual first name of the father of Louis Camille), who sees the day the 12/2/1911. If the child arrives in the long term, that leaves think that Jeanne is pregnant 6 weeks at the time of the marriage. Does this situation accelerate the marriage? (or it generates it?). The question deserves to be put. The answers are only scenarios, realistic certainly but hypothetical to date!
Beginning of the century, year 1910. It is the "Beautiful time" and in this Parisian, middle-class, medical medium and catholic the image is of the highest importance. Family"planning " and the single-parent cell do not exist yet. A pregnant girl, out the crowned bonds of the marriage, is considered by the "right-thinking people" a prostitute. A young lady "unmarried mother" in the family of the Senator would have made disorder rather. Out the pension in the cousin of province, the convent or the holidays in Switzerland, the fast marriage thus remains the only solution. The family prefers to run the risk of an embarrassing marriage rather than the scandal and the shame of a "child without father". Plausible, but that remains assumptions...
