§ 142. Dismissal of complaint in action by next friend to annul a

marriage. Where the next friend of an infant, person with a

action annulling a marriage, the court may dismiss the complaint if

justice so requires, although, in a like case, the party to the

marriage, if plaintiff, would be entitled to judgment.
