The remedies provided by law for the enforcement of actions based upon alleged alienation of affections and breach of contract to marry before March 5, 1943, and for alleged criminal conversation before July 1, 1979, having been subjected to grave abuses, caused extreme annoyance, embarrassment, humiliation and pecuniary damage to many persons wholly innocent and free of any wrongdoing, who were merely the victims of circumstances, and having been exercised by unscrupulous persons for their unjust enrichment, and having furnished vehicles for the commission or attempted commission of crime and in many cases having resulted in the perpetration of frauds, it is hereby declared as the public policy of the State that the best interests of the people of this state will be served by the abolition thereof. Consequently, in the public interest, the necessity for the enactment of NRS 41.370 to 41.420, inclusive, is hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination.

All causes of action for criminal conversation which have accrued before July 1, 1979, must be commenced within 60 days after July 1, 1979. 2.

No act done within this state operates to give rise, either within or without this state, to any of the rights of action abolished by NRS 41.370 to 41.420, inclusive. No contract to marry made or entered into in this state operates to give rise, either within or without this state, to any cause or right of action for the breach thereof, and no contract to marry, made in any other state, gives rise to any cause of action within this state for the breach thereof. [4:53:1943; 1943 NCL § 4071.03]—(NRS A 1979, 1172) NRS 41.410 Unlawful to file actions after July 1, 1979.
