Norman v. Norman
Facts:
The wife filed suit for a divorce 19 months after her
marriage to the husband. Her action was premised on cruelty and reasonable
apprehension of bodily harm. The Richmond court determined that the wife was
not entitled to relief and dismissed her bill. She appealed from that decree.
The court reversed the trial court's decree and rendered one that awarded the
wife a divorce. The matter was remanded for further proceedings. The court
noted that the evidence established that the husband frequently became
intoxicated while in public with his wife. He also humiliated her with
profanity and similar conduct while the couple was in the presence of their
friends and relatives. The husband also struck or slapped the wife on several
occasions. While the courts were reluctant to grant divorces simply because
spouses were quarrelsome or temperamental, that reluctance was not an excuse
for not granting a divorce when the evidence showed the requisite degree of
cruelty. The court found that the evidence met that standard and that the wife
was entitled to a divorce.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- While the courts are, as
they should be, reluctant to grant divorces simply because people have
high tempers, quarrel with each other for slight or sufficient reasons and
prove incompatible, it is nevertheless true that when the evidence shows
cruelty, the injured spouse is entitled to the divorce authorized by
Virginia law.
