Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lacerf v. Lacerf, 1929 CanLII 191 (SK QB):
In an early case, 1792, Timmings v. Timmings, 3 Hagg. Ecc. 76, 162 E.R. 1086, Lord Stowell is reported as saying: True it is that a husband is not barred by a mere permission of opportunity for adultery; nor is it every degree of inattention on his part which will deprive him of relief; but it is one thing to permit and another to invite; he is perfectly, at liberty to let the licentiousness of the wife take full scope.
