Grounds for divorce are regulations specifying the circumstances under which a person will be granted a divorce. Adultery is the most common grounds for divorce.[1] However, there are countries that view male adultery differently than female adultery as grounds for divorce.[1]

Before decisions on divorce are considered, one might check into state laws and country laws for legal divorce or separation as each culture has stipulations for divorce.[1]

Cruel and inhuman treatment constitute as grounds for divorce.[2] In a proper defense, acceptable differences enable the defendant to have the ability to arrange grounds for divorce.[3]

Some examples for grounds for divorce are:

The spouse that is responsible for committing these allegations is required to confirm the correct date and place that the allegations were committed.[3] The reason for the spouse to confirm the allegations is to show proof that the allegations have taken place in the same state.[3] The state then has to have the authority to administer justice by hearing and determining the controversies.[3] Different states accept different grounds for divorce.[3] For example, some states only accept no-fault divorce where other states accept both fault and no-fault grounds for divorce.[3]
