In my estimation, such ground does not fall within the permissible reasons for granting divorce.
The reason for the fault-based divorce is sustained by the impossibility of the spouses to continue
to live together and preserve a family. However, the Plaintiff admitted to have lived with the
Defendant for ten years with the said ground being existed. Moreover, the Plaintiff can go to the
doctor alone. If proven that her husband is the party who cannot have kids, and that caused her
harm, she may then file for divorce on such ground and the Court shall order the Defendant to go
to the doctor with her for examination.
There remains another issue that must be addressed is that through the investigation initiated by
the Court, it is clear that there is a claim of a reconciliation between the two parties and therefore
the Court shall conduct the necessary investigation in this matter with the two parties. If proven
to the Court that there is reconciliation, then the reconciliation cancels what precedes it and the
Court shall discuss with the Plaintiff in this case the date of the Plaintiff's leaving from the
marital home and the reason for leaving after the conciliation and then the Court delivers its
judgment according to as evidenced to it.
Civ. P. S. /793/Challenge of Cassation/ 2014 AD (P. 5) (Cont'd)
Whereas, the Trial Court delivered its judgment on granting divorce before investigating the
lawsuit as mentioned above, its judgment is accordingly deficient and is not legally established
and shall be overturned and the papers of the lawsuit shall be returned to the Trial Court for
further investigation in the lawsuit, as stated in this brief.
Whereas, the Challenged Judgment (the judgment of the Court of Appeal) has overturned the
judgment of the Court of Trial and ordered with the return of the papers of the lawsuit to the Trial
Court to act in accordance with the note of the Challenged Judgment. The Challenged Judgment
it is therefore worthy to be confirmed, which decides the overturn of the judgment of the Court of
Trial and the return of the final papers of the lawsuit to the Trial Court for further investigation in
the lawsuit, and not according to the guidance of its statement of claim, but in accordance with
the note of this challenged judgment.
Therefore, I decide, if the Honorable two Judges in the Circuit agree, to deliver our judgment to
confirm the Challenged Judgment that orders with the overturn of the judgment of the Trial Court
and the return of the final papers of the lawsuit to the same Court for acting as established in the
note of this judgment.
