Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Cruel and barbarous treatment — Refusal of intercourse —Nagging—Constructive desertion.</p> <p>Where a husband and wife before marriage entered into a vow of purity, which they understood to be an agreement to abstain from sexual intercourse, and they live together for twelve years without having had intercourse although occupying the same room and the same bed, the husband will not be entitled to a divorce on the ground of cruel and barbarous treatment, because his wife resisted his sexual advances, and his allegation that she kept up a constant nagging such as fault-finding and scolding, but never in the presence of third parties, will not bring the case within the statute.</p>
