  1. The event which has caused the irretrievable damage of the marriage.

  1. That the reason behind the irretrievable damage of the marriage concerns one of the spouses or both.

e.g. In the divorce application, it should state which of the two spouses is responsible for the reasons behind the irretrievable damage of the marriage, and such reasons can derive from ether spouse or both , for example the spouses fought and argued all the time, and such fights were because of the behaviour of either both spouses or one of them constantly caused these fights.

 

  1. That because of the above stated events, remaining in this marriage creates an unbearable relationship for the spouse seeking the dissolution of the marriage.

e.g. Due to the verbally abusive and insulting behaviour of the spouse, and subsequently of the mental and physical distancing, the spouse considers the marriage dead, remaining in this marriage creates an unbearable situation.

 

In the divorce application that will be filed, all the reasons on which the irretrievable damage of the marriage is based should be stated in detail, however the relevant evidence supporting the claim should not be stated.
