What are the various grounds for divorce?
The parties cannot part without attributing a reason. And hence they have to state reasons for filing a petition to divorce There is a laundry list of unsavory actssuch as adultery, physical cruelty, mental cruelty, attempted murder, desertion, habitual drunkenness, use of addictive drugs, insanity, impotency (usually unknown to the partner at the time of marriage),and venereal disease, which forms valid grounds for a legal separation/divorce.
