1. Adultery.

2. Extreme cruelty.

3. Willful desertion.

4. Willful neglect.

5. Habitual intemperance.

95. Willful desertion is the voluntary separation of one of the married parties from the other with intent to desert.

: 96. Persistent refusal to have reasonable matrimonial intercourse as husband and wife, when health or physical condition does not make such refusal reasonably necessary, or the refusal of either party to dwell in the same house with the other party when there is no just cause for such refusal, is desertion.

97. When one party is induced by stratagem or fraud of the other party, to leave the family dwelling place, or to be absent, and during such absence the offending party departs with intent to desert the other, it is desertion by the party committing the strategem or fraud, and not by the other.

98. Departure or absence of one party from the family dwelling place, caused by cruelty or by threats of bodily harm from which danger would be reasonably apprehended from the other is not desertion by the absent party, but it is desertion by the other party.

100. Absence or separation, proper in itself, becomes desertion whenever the intent to desert is fixed during such absence or separation. 1873-189.

If one party deserts the other, and before the expiration of the statutory period required to make the desertion a cause of divorce, returns and offers in good faith to fulfill the marriage contract, and solicits condonation, the desertion is cured.

103. The husband may choose any reasonable place or mode of living, and if the wife does not conform thereto, it is desertion.

104. If the place or mode of living selected by the husband is unreasonable and grossly unfit, and the wife does not conform thereto, it is desertion on the part of the husband from the time her reasonable objections are made known to him.

105. Willful negelct is the neglect of the husband to provide for his wife the common necessaries of life, he having the ability to do so; or it is the failure to do so by reason of idleness, profligacy, or dissipation.

106. Habitual intemperance is that degree of intemperance from the use of intoxicating drinks which disqualifies the person a great portion of the time from properly attending to business, or which would reasonably inflict a course of great mental anguish upon the innocent party. 1901.-337.
