Divorce denied to divided spouses
From Times Wire Reports
Feuding spouses who built a wall through their three-story row house because neither would give it up cannot divorce, a jury ruled in New York.
The jurors rejected the “cruel and inhuman treatment” Chana Taub cited as grounds for divorcing Simon Taub after more than 20 years of marriage.
“I’m dismissing the whole case. That’s it,” Justice Carolyn Demarest said.
To revive the case, Chana Taub would have to refile on new grounds.
