“ When it is clear that the parties cannot live together the policy of the Legislature is that they should be divorced and allowed to set up separate homes in the interests of morality,” said Mr Justice Reed during the hearing of a divorce action in the Supreme Court at Auckland. The husband in this case had applied for divorce on the ground of separation for more than three years. The wife defended the action, contending that separation had not been agreed on. After hearing evidence indicating that the parties could not live happily together his Honor suggested a consultation with a view to overcoming the difficulty caused by the wife’s objection to the husband’s petition being granted.
