GAMMELGAARD v. GAMMELGAARD

No. 48938.

77 N.W.2d 479 (1956)

Beulah GAMMELGAARD, Appellee, v. Chris GAMMELGAARD, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

June 19, 1956.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William O. Anderson, Estherville, for appellant.

Daniel D. Sanderson, Estherville, for appellee.


THOMPSON, Justice.

The major question involved in the case at bar is factual. It concerns an alleged common-law marriage between the parties, the existence of which the plaintiff asserts and defendant denies. No other form of marriage is claimed; so that plaintiff's case must rest upon proof of the common-law relationship. The burden to establish the marriage is upon the one who asserts it. Pegg v. Pegg, 138 Iowa 572, 576, 115 N.W. 1027, 1029.
