“V ‡ “Third. The marriage of any persons either of whom has been previously married and whose previous marriage has not been terminated by death or a decree of divorce.” 30-102. “Any of such marriages may also be declared to have been null and void by judicial decree.” 30-103. “The following marriages in said District shall be illegal, and shall be void from the time when their nullity shall be declared by decree, namely: “First. The marriage of an idiot or of a person adjudged to be a lunatic. “Second. Any marriage the consent to which of either party has been procured by force or fraud. “Third.

But no such proceedings shall be allowed to be instituted by any person who, being fully capable of contracting a marriage, has knowingly and wilfully contracted any marriage declared illegal by the foregoing sections.””
