This was particularly important for wives petitioning for divorce in the nineteenth and early twentieth century as they had to prove not only that their husband had committed adultery, but that he was also guilty of inflicting an additional marital offence such as cruelty, desertion (of two years or more), incestuous adultery, sodomy, bestiality, or rape (though not of the wife as this was a legal impossibility).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5);\">Cruelty and desertion were by far the most commonly cited aggravating offences, and although the tolerance for such behaviours was significantly higher than it is today, case law indicated that physical violence was not an essential characteristic of cruelty and there is evidence that the Victorian divorce court recognised that it could potentially comprise of physical, emotional, financial, and sexual mistreatment. It was not until the case of Russell v Russell in 1890 that a husband first accused his wife of abuse, which highlights the importance of understanding the gendered nature and history of domestic abuse.&nbsp;This research strand will examine cases citing cruelty to see how cultural and social factors exerted a strong influence on how legislation was interpreted.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0e8f133 elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0e8f133\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6f8c1e6\" data-id=\"6f8c1e6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ee393c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ee393c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span>Key strand research questions<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14a70d5 elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"14a70d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check-circle\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">How frequently did (a) wives, (b) husbands, (c) both parties, make allegations and counter allegations of abuse?
