The first marriages among settlers at the Sosua refugee colony occurred yesterday when two engaged couples were wedded less than 24 hours after debarking here.
The usual waiting period before marriage was waived by the Dominican Government. Both couples had become engaged in England. They were among a group of refugees which arrived here on the steamship Coamo from New York.
