These matters have been somewhat re 8 Squires v. Squires, 53 Vt. 208; 38 Am. Rep. 668.. - J. G. v. H. G., 33 Md. 401; 3 Am. Rep. 183. - Pettit v. Pettit, 107 N. Y. 677. 10 Abbott v. Bayley, 6 Pick. 89; Hayward v. Barker, 52 Vt. 429; 36 Am. Rep. 762. marked upon in the opening chapter. It may now be said generally, that marriages coming within these prohibitions are usually valid until pronounced void, and the children are legitimate.11 It has been held, however, that a judgment annulling a marriage contracted by an insane party is unnecessary.12 The lack of mental capacity and the impotence to justify a divorce must have existed at the time of the marriage.12 A marriage procured by fraud can be avoided only by the person defrauded.11 2. Dissolution of the contract.--The main and universally recognized cause for this is adultery. In England a divorce for this cause is denied to the wife unless accompanied by cruel treatment. But a divorce for this cause will never be granted where the offence was committed by the procurement or connivance12 of the complainant; or has been forgiven and the parties have voluntarily cohabited with knowledge of its commission, which is called Condonation; or the complainant has also been guilty of the like offence, so that the defendant, if innocent, might have a divorce therefor, which is called Recrimination. Adultery pending suit is also a bar. 11 Tompert's Exrs. v. Tompert, 13 Bush, 326; 26 Am. Rep. 197; Birdzell v. Birdzell, 33 Kans. 433; 52 Am. Rep. 539. 12 Powell v. Powell, 18 Kans. 371; 29 Am.
