The history of divorce in Georgia has already been brought down to 1849, when resort to the assembly was finally forbidden. By the act of the next year specific causes for either kind of divorce are for the first time enumerated. After obtaining the concurrent verdict of two juries a total divorce may be decreed for (1) intermarriage within the Levitical degrees of consanguinity; (2) mental incapacity or (3) impotency at the time of the marriage; (4) force, menace, or duress in obtaining the marriage; (5) pregnancy of the woman at the time of the marriage by another man without the husband's knowledge; (6) adultery in either of the persons after marriage; (7) wilful and continued desertion for the term of three years; (8) conviction of either spouse of an offense involving moral turpitude, under which the offender is sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for two years or longer. Besides these, certain "discretionary" grounds are approved. In case of cruel treatment or habitual drunkenness on the part of either, the jury in its discretion may determine whether the divorce shall be absolute or limited. A general clause declares that all grounds other than those named in the act shall "only be cause for divorce from bed and board." In case of adultery, desertion, cruel treatment, or intoxication, a decree may not be granted when there is collusion or both parties are guilty of the same offense.[209] At the beginning of the century, the law of 1850, so far as the causes of full divorce and the discretionary grounds are concerned,[210] is still in force; while, in addition, the present statute simply authorizes a separation from bed and board on "any ground which was held sufficient in the English courts prior to the fourth of May, 1784."[211] By the existing constitution the superior court still has jurisdiction; and for total dissolution of wedlock the concurrent verdicts of two juries at different terms of the court are essential to a decree.[212] [209] Act of Feb. 22, 1850: COBB, _Digest_ (1851), 226; _Acts_ (1849-50), 151, 152. [210] Except that "fraud" is added to the fourth cause. [211] _Code of Ga._ (1896), II, 224 ff. Instead of "Levitical," "prohibited" degrees is now used. [212] Const. of 1877, Art. VI, secs. 4, 15, 16: _N. Y. Convention Manual_, Part II, Vol. I, 427, 431. _Cf._ Const. of 1865, Art. IV, sec. 2; 1868, Art. V, secs. 2, 3: POORE, _Charters_, I, 409, 420, 422. In case of partial divorce one jury is sufficient: Const. of 1877, Art. VI, sec. 15; and such seems to have been the earlier practice: 16 _Ga._, 81; _Code of Ga._ (1882), 394, note. A juror may be challenged for "conscientious scruples" regarding divorce: _Code_ (1882), 397. This last-named provision appears in the act of Dec. 22, 1840: COBB, _Digest_ (1851), 225, 226.
