Harrison v. Harrison
Facts:

appellee husband, granted the husband a divorce a mensa, and awarded custody of
the parties' son to the husband with visitation awarded to the wife.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- In the context of the
application of Va. Code Ann. § 20-95, subsequent decisions have
interpreted desertion and cruelty language as an exception to the general
rule that physical cruelty tending to bodily harm must be established. The
authorities generally, including those in Virginia, wisely allow for
exceptional cases in which there may be extreme cruelty without the
slightest violence. Mental anguish, repeated and unrelenting neglect and
humiliation, may be as bad as physical wounds and bruises, and may be visited
upon an unoffending spouse in such degree as to amount to cruelty even in
the very strict sense in which that term ought always to be used in the
law of divorce. In the context of cruelty as a ground for divorce, the
exception to the general rule also must be understood and applied in light
of Virginia 's unwillingness to grant a fault-based divorce for light or
transient transgressions against the marital relationship. A fault divorce
cannot be granted merely because a husband and wife are unable to live
together in peace and harmony. What merely wounds the feelings without
being accompanied by bodily injury, such as rudeness of language, want of
civil attention, or even occasional sallies of passion that do not
threaten harm, although they be high offenses against morality in the
married state, does not amount to legal cruelty.
