Back to the LibraryIf she had been already insane when they marriage, he could have sought and annullment, but as it was, the doctors concluded that her madness had been brought on by her own licencious behaviour...

And as to the law that prohibitted a person from divorced her or his insane spouse, it was still in force during the first decades of this century.
