## Opinion text

Sheran, Justice
(dissenting).
Litigation by one spouse against another where recovery de *374 pends on proof of fault has always been considered contrary to the public policy of the state. In my judgment, the rule forbidding such law suits is based on reasons as sound today as when the prohibition was first announced. The fact that a liability insurance company may be required to pay the bill once fault is proved does not change the situation, in my view.
Mr. Justice Rogosheske took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
