Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Desertion—Separation.</p> <p>1. Although a wife may leave her husband-without his consent and against his wish and without abusive treatment on his part to justify her leaving, yet, if within two years, she returns and makes an offer in sincerity and good faith to live with him, and he refuses, such separation is not such a willful and malicious desertion persisted in, without cause, for two years, as will entitle the husband to a divorce.</p> <p>Divorce — Alimony—Counsel fee.</p> <p>2. An allowance for counsel fees and expenses in favor of the respondent in the case of a proceeding in divorce by a husband against his wife, will be decreed, but in determining the amount, the ability of the libelant will be considered.</p>
