Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Va. Code Ann. §
20-91(A)(6) authorizes a divorce from the bond of matrimony on the ground
of cruelty. The misconduct that will form a good ground for divorce must
be very serious and such as amounts to extreme cruelty, entirely
subversive of the family relations rendering the association intolerable.
The long-established rule is that the cruelty that authorizes a divorce is
anything that tends to bodily harm and thus renders cohabitation unsafe.
Moreover, a single act of physical cruelty will constitute grounds for
divorce if it is so severe and atrocious as to endanger life or it
indicates an intention to do serious bodily harm. Before a spouse may
obtain a divorce, he or she must prove the grounds therefor and no
complaint for divorce shall be defaulted, taken for confessed, or granted
upon the pleadings or upon uncorroborated testimony.
- It is not necessary that
the testimony of the complaining spouse be corroborated on every element
or essential charge stated as a ground for divorce. The corroborative
testimony need not be sufficient, standing alone, to prove the alleged
ground for divorce. Any other rule would deprive the testimony of the
complaining spouse of any practical effect. The general rule is that where
a particular fact or circumstance is vital to complainant's case, some
evidence of the same, in addition to the complainant's own testimony, is
essential. The main object of the provision of the statute requiring
corroboration is to prevent collusion. Where it is apparent that there is
no collusion, the corroboration needs to be only slight.
