1. Impotency. If her husband is unable to perform the sexual act a wife can compel him to grant her a deed of divorcement.
2. If a man sells his wife to another the woman is ipso facto divorced from both men.
3. If a man induces his wife to become a prostitute, or accepts her earnings as such, the wife is entitled to a decree of absolute divorce.
We can find no other causes which entitle a woman to a divorce from her husband. His adultery, cruelty, abandonment, neglect or drunkenness furnishes no ground for a dissolution of the marriage.
For a husband divorce is very easy. The so-called “seven valid reasons” enable any man so inclined to practically discard his wife when it pleases him. The seven “reasons” or causes are:
1. Talkativeness.
2. Wantonness.
3. Theft.
4. Barrenness.
5. Disobedience to parents of husband.
