divorce can be obtained by a man II

only obtain divorce if he adds per-
sonal cruelty to adultery. In practice
this is by no means the worst feature
OF British divorce law, as successive
judges have whitfield down the definf-

desertion or even a few angry words.
The judicial offence known as con-
nivance" is one of the most objection

of British divorce. Earl Russell (tO

his wife But the mere fact that the
earl desired a divorce prevented him
obtaining 1t. Divorce for adultery on
both sides is impossible. Divorce by
mutual consent sounds so sensible that
one wonders at a sane person refusing
it. In England mutual consent is an
effectual obstacle to divorce, and a
