a. By the death of one of the parties;
b. By a divorce pronounced according to law.
Second Marriages.—A woman cannot legally marry again until ten months have elapsed since the dissolution of her previous marriage.
DIVORCE
Causes for Divorce.—
1. Either party to the marriage is entitled to a divorce on the ground of the adultery of the other.
2. Either party is entitled to a divorce because of the cruelty or serious insults of the one toward the other. This includes not only such violent cruelty as endangers life, but all sorts of less serious assaults. Any acts, words or writings by which one of the parties reflects on the honour and good name of the other furnish cause for a divorce.
3. The fact that one of the parties has been sentenced to death, imprisonment, penal servitude, transportation, banishment or loss of civil rights, and is branded with infamy, entitles the other party to a divorce.
That article of the Civil Code which provided for divorce by mutual consent, owing to incompatibility of temper, has been repealed.
Divorce Procedure.—A party who wishes to institute a proceeding for divorce must present the petition personally to the President of the Court or to the judge who is acting in that capacity. If it appears that the petitioner is unable to attend in person the President of the Court or the judge acting as such is required to go, accompanied by his registrar, to the residence of the petitioner.
