Divorce — Indignities to husband — Charges against honor of husband and chastity of a step-daughter — Evidence — Sufficiency.
In a libel for divorce by a husband on the ground that the respondent offered such indignities to his person as to render his condition intolerable and life burdensome, there was evidence that the respondent treated the libellant in an outrageous manner and charged him with having frequent sexual intercourse with his daughter by a former marriage. At the trial the respondent admitted making the charges and reiterated them. There was not a single corroborating circumstance to support her allegations and the libellant and his daughter denied the charges.
Such evidence was sufficient to establish the libellant's right to a divorce and the decree in divorce was properly granted.
Argued April 27, 1931.
PER CURIAM, July 8, 1931:
The decree of the lower court granting the divorce is affirmed upon the opinion of Judge DREW.
