Matrimonial Causes Act 1937
The Matrimonial Causes Act 1937 is a law on divorce in the United Kingdom.
Apart from the Roman Catholic Church, Church of England and its associated Mothers Union, there was broad support for divorce law liberalisation, as this legislation had not been significantly amended since the passage of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857, when adjudication had been removed from church courts and placed before secular courts.
==Origins==
Previously, men could divorce women on the basis of adultery, but women were required to prove that their male partners had undertaken adultery ''and'' additional offences, such as incest, sodomy, cruelty (roughly equivalent to domestic violence) and other possible reasons.
In 1912, a Royal Commission had recommended further liberalisation, and the feminist-allied National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship promoted a more equitable treatment of divorce law which made it easier for women to seek divorce when it considered the matter in 1923. However, nothing was done at that time to broaden grounds for divorce from adultery alone, to include permanent desertion of one's partner and family, and incurable and severe mental illness.
