To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The grounds for the first kind of divorce are, 1st. Adultery, 2nd. Intole- rable Cruelty, and 3rd. Unnatural Practices. The Ecclesiastical Courts can do no more than pronounce for this first kind of divorce, or rather separation, as the matrimonial tie is not severed, and there is always a possibility of reconciliation. The law cannot dissolve a lawful marriage; it is only by the act of the legislature altering the law in this particular instance that such dissolution can be effected. It requir...es an Act of Parliament to constitute a divorce a vinculo matrimonii, but the investigation rests by usage with the Lords alone, the House of Commons acting upon the faith that the House of Lords came to a just conclusion. This divorce is pronounced on account of adultery in the wife, and in some cases of aggravated adultery on the part of the husband. The expenses of only a common divorce bill are between six hundred and seven hundred pounds, which makes the possibility of release from the matrimonial bond a privilege of the rich.
