What is the effect of a prayer for divorce on the grounds that the husband committed adultery with a woman unknown?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from De Armond v. De Armond, 1929 CanLII 199 (SK QB):
Aylward v. Aylward (1928) 44 T.L.R. 456, which was cited affords no assistance to the plaintiff that I can see. It was a prayer for divorce on the ground that the husband had committed adultery with a woman unknown. It was held that doubtless he stayed at the the hotel with a woman with the object of securing a decree nisi, but I see no reason to suppose that the respondent “committed adultery with a woman unknown.” The woman at the hotel might have been, for all I know, some near relative of his own.
