Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Divorce — Extreme Cruelty — What Constitutes. Extreme cruelty exists when the conduct of the husband or wife is such that the life or health of the other may be endangered, or when such conduct unjustifiably wounds the mental feelings or so destroys the peace of mind as seriously to impair the health or endanger the life of the other, or is such as utterly destroys the legitimate objects and aims of matrimony; and when words alone are relied on it must appear that they were uttered not merely as complaints against the real'or apparent misconduct of the other, but that they were uttered without justifiable cause and for the purpose of inflicting pain.</p> <p>2. -. Extreme Cruelty — -What Does Not Constitute. Occasional-irritability, faultfinding and outbursts of temper on the part of one, followed by demonstrative affection and by forbearance, with a sincere desire for the love and companionship of the other, do not constitute extreme cruelty.</p>
