Domestic violence and adultery are legal grounds that a husband or wife may consider.
Despite the fact that domestic violence and adultery is one of the most abused grounds, yet many divorce cases are granted because of it.
Domestic violence is often times committed by the husband through verbal or physical maltreatment and abuse.
Because of this, women are treated like punching bags, especially when a husband comes home drunk.
Often, wives are afraid to come out in the open due to fear of retaliation from the husband. For this reason, wives tend to keep quiet and rather choose to be a martyr to save the marriage from breaking apart.
Battered wives are growing in number, which has proved to be psychologically harmful.
The Battered Wife Syndrome is a testament to the ill effects of domestic or spousal violence. For this reason, pertinent legislation is now enacted to fortify and protect wives from further abuse.
Most of the time, when a husband engages in adulterous relationships, he loses affection, love, and care for his wife. As a result, husbands commonly engage in battering their wives simply because they don’t want to be with the wife anymore.
Wife battering is an implied physical response of the absence of human respect so as to justify the adultery committed.
Ideally, domestic or spousal violence and adultery are two intertwined grounds for divorce, which causes a ripple effect if either one of the two grounds is resorted to.

With the aid of a psychiatrist who usually sees into the existence of possible mental disorders are considered in courts to be legitimate expert witnesses that the aggrieved party can utilize as a witness during court litigation.
Preponderance of evidence is the only required quantum in divorce cases because family law related cases are civil in nature. Having a psychiatrist as your witness can dramatically increase the probability of a grant of divorce.
