Lunacy as a Ground for Divorce

For any marriage to be legally valid, consent is an essential ingredient. If the court is satisfied that one of the parties to the marriage did not give consent or was not of sound mind to give consent with a clear understanding of what marriage entails, the marriage may be annulled on the ground that one of the spouses was not of sound mind at the time of the marriage.
