It provides context on the key grounds for divorce, including cruelty, and explains how cruelty has evolved to include both physical and mental aspects. It outlines some examples of acts that can constitute cruelty, as well as acts that do not. The document also summarizes a landmark 1975 Supreme Court case that established five tests for identifying cruelty in a divorce proceeding.
