DIVORCE WITHOUT MUTUAL CONSENT (UNILATERAL PETITION) Either party to a marriage may file a petition to divorce without consent of the other party, on the ground that the marriage has broken down. The break down of the marriage can be grounded one of the reasons as follows:
1) that the other party has committed adultery;
2) that the other party has behaved in such a way that it cannot reasonaly be expected to live together;
3) that the other party has deserted for a continuous period of at least 2 years; OR
4) that the parties to the marriage have lived apart for a continuous period of at least 2 years.
In particular note the language,".....the other party has behaved in such a way..." There is no precise legal definition of these words.Anything will suffice when the bahaviour of one party becomes intolerable to the other.So when one party grows fat and begins to snore loudly while sleeping, it may come within this provision
