mental cruelty  

Definición

  • In the early 1800s, families were viewed as the foundation of social order, and a husband or wife seeking divorce by claiming mental agony would need physical proof to substantiate that violent acts had occurred. In the mid-1800s, courts recognized that any harsh behavior, whatever its nature, that destroyed the health of a spouse constituted cruelty.
