Jackson v. Jackson
Facts:
Plaintiff, a wife, filed a bill of complaint for divorce in Prince William alleging cruelty, desertion, and constructive desertion. Upon a grant of demurrer to defendant, the husband, the wife filed an amended bill of complaint. The court sustained the husband's second demurrer, and the wife filed a motion for reconsideration.

Holdings:
The Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Mental cruelty is not a ground for divorce in Virginia.
- The cruelty that authorizes a divorce in Virginia is anything that tends to bodily harm and thus renders cohabitation unsafe, or, as expressed in the older decisions, that involves danger of life, limb, or health. There may be cases in which the husband, without violence, actual or threatened, may render the marriage state impossible to be endured. There may be angry words, coarse and abusive language, humiliating insults, and annoyances in all the forms that malice can suggest, which may as effectually endanger life or health as personal violence, and which therefore would afford grounds for relief by the court. But it is obvious that what merely wounds the feelings without being accompanied by bodily injury or actual menace, mere austerity of temper, petulance of manner, rudeness of language, want of civil attention and accommodation, or even occasional sallies of passion that do not threaten harm, although they be high offenses against morality in the marital state, does not amount to legal cruelty.
