Moses v Moses [1915] ZATPD 128 (8 December 1915)

Husband and wife.-Judicial separation.-Alimony and costs.Prima Facie case.-Necessary allegations.

Allegations by a wife of continuous interference in her domestic affairs by a mother-in-law, who "treated her like a slave," and of having been struck on a single occasion by her husband, who declined to restrain the mother-in-law, are not sufficient to show that cohabitation has become dangerous or, at least, intolerable to the wife; and such allegations, therefore, will not support an
application for costs and alimony pending an action for judicial separation. Wentzel v. Wentzel (1913, A.D. 55), followed.
