Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Willful desertion is a ground for divorce from bed and board in Va. Code Ann. § 20-95. Willful desertion consists of the breaking off of marital cohabitation and an intent to desert in the mind of the offender. Moreover, desertion cannot occur unless one spouse breaks off marital cohabitation with the intent to remain apart permanently, without the consent and against the will of the other spouse. Willful desertion may also be found to exist when an unjustified withdrawal of the privilege of sexual intercourse is coupled with the willful breach and neglect of other marital duties, rendering the marriage state well neigh intolerable, and impossible to be endured.
