Varner v. Varner
Decision Date | 06 April 1904 |
Citation | 80 S.W. 386 |
Parties | VARNER v. VARNER. |
Court | Texas Court of Appeals |
Appeal from District Court, Limestone County; L. B. Cobb, Judge.
Suit for divorce by B. J. Varner against Jennie Varner. From a judgment denying relief, defendant appeals. Affirmed.
J. B. Kimbell, for appellant.
Appellant brought this suit against appellee for the purpose of obtaining a divorce from the bonds of matrimony, and from a judgment against him he has appealed. The grounds relied on in his petition are stated as follows: The statute of this state, in prescribing the grounds upon which a divorce may be granted, does not specify either impotence or refusal to submit to sexual intercourse. However, it authorizes a divorce when either husband or wife is guilty of "excesses, cruel treatment, or outrages toward the other, if such illtreatment is of such a nature as to render their living together insupportable." In the case now under consideration the petition does not charge that the conduct of the defendant was an excess, cruel treatment, or outrage, nor that it was of such a nature as to render their living together insupportable; and it may be that the divorce was properly refused on account of the failure of the plaintiff to make those essential averments in his petition. But, if it be conceded that the petition was sufficient, we are of opinion, for reasons hereafter stated, that no reversible error is shown.
