Divorce?

Was divorce an option for anyone except the very wealthy in Scotland in the 1820s and 30s? Would lunacy have been sufficient cause?
Any information appreciated.

Hi Mary,

You may not have known about it, but the answer to your question was in the list archives as well as searching in the board you posted from.

You can find more details from the NAS on this link:
