Syllabus

<p>Divorce <§=>27(3)—Husband and Wife.</p> <p>Plaintiff, the husband, brought suit for divorce upon the ground of “cruel and inhuman treatment calculated to impair health or endanger life.” The evidence disclosed that the defendant treated the plaintiff with indifference and her domestic duties with neglect, and for many years grievously failed to perform her marital obligations, and has tested the plaintiff’s patience and temper almost beyond endurance. These facts, how- . ever, do not constitute “cruel and inhuman treatment calculated to impair health or endanger life” of the husband. Divorce denied, and complaint dismissed.</p> <p><@=>See same topic & KEY-NUMBER in all Key-Numbered Digests & Indexes</p>
