Divorce (Insanity and Desertion) Act, 1958
THE Divorce (Insanity and Desertion) Act, 1958,1 which brings into effect some recommendations of the Royal Commission on Marriage and Divorce,2 tidies up some anomalies in the field of matrimonial causes: (i) by widening the definition of incurable unsoundness of mind (or insanity in Scotland) as a ground for divorce3 and (ii) by alleviating hardships resulting from the introduction of desertion as a ground for divorce3 after 1937.
