Similarly, if the husband is sentenced to a term of imprisonment, his wife may seek a divorce after one year of his imprisonment has been served, as affirmed in article 137 of the Act, which stipulates that if a final custodial sentence is enforced against the husband and he is consequently imprisoned for a term of three years or more, the wife may seek a divorce after one year of his imprisonment has been served.
L'article 137 stipule que si le mari est définitivement condamné à une peine privative de liberté de trois ans ou plus, la femme est en droit de demander le divorce à l'écoulement d'un délai d'un an à compter de la date d'incarcération de son conjoint.
