Hill v Hill [1910] ZASCOFSPD 12 (1 September 1910)

Husband and wife.-Prayer for general relief in claim for decree of divorce on ground of desertion allowed to stand for prayer for nullity of marriage.

Where W had obtained an order calling on H to restore conjugal rights, and on the return day it appeared from a newspaper report that H's wife by a former marriage was H still alive, leave was granted to W to prove by affidavit that H's wife was still alive at the time of his going through the marriage ceremony with W, and to give notice to H that on the 15th November she would apply for a decree of divorce or nullity of marriage.
