https://lawexplores.com/ground-for-divorce-under-the-matrimonial-causes-act-1937/
Article published 6th December 2019

Can petition for divorce under:
  • (a) had since the celebration of the marriage committed adultery
  • (b) deserted the petitioner without cause for a period of at least three years immediately preceding the presentation of the petition
  • (c) since the celebration of the marriage treated the petitioner with cruelty
  • (d) A spouse could also petition on the ground that the other was incurably of unsound mind and had been continuously under care and treatment for a period of at least five years immediately preceding the presentation of the petition.
The Act also amended the law about the application of the bars to divorce originally laid down in the 1857 Act.



  • Adultery
  • Desertion
  • Cruelty
In conclusion, I found this article reliable due to the amount of sources linked throughout. However, it is wrote by an unknown author.
