DIVORCES ON THE GROUND OF THE NULLITY OF THE MARRIAGE
CONTRACT.
Sec. 1.—The Supreme Court, any Circuit Court, or any Justice of the Supreme Court at chambers, may, by a sentence of nullity, declare void the marriage contract for either of the following causes, existing at the time of the marriage.
3. That the husband had an undivorced wife living, or the wife had an undivorced husband living or that either party being divorced, was the guilty party in such divorce, and that the former husband or wife was then living.
4. That the husband being a foreigner has failed to comply with the requirements of the law validating marriages with the female subjects of this kingdom.
5. That one of the parties was an idiot or lunatic.
6. That one of the parties was impotent or physically incapable of entering into the marriage state.
I guess in their case it was number 5, they were both idiots and lunatics!
Great research, obviously time for me to leave the thread as gracefully as I’m able.
