Marriage in the 1920's

As a personal project, I am scanning old family photos and files on loan from my aunt. It has been an interesting journey into the past. I feel like I know my ancestors better and I can now put faces to stories told to me by my mother and father.

As I was scanning, I came across some newspaper clippings from the 1920's. They are about marriage. Maybe they were cut out by my grandmother or a great aunt. I don't know, but the clippings were interesting to read, so I've attached them below.

Is what was said then, true today?
