Reemie v. Reemie
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided November 15, 1808PublishedCited by 3 opinions
Upon a libel for a divorce from the bonds of matrimony, for the adultery of the husband, the libellant proved the respondent’s marriage with her, and then produced and read a certificate of a second marriage of the respondent, with another woman, and relied on the presumption of cohabitation.
1Opinion of the Court
But by the Court.
This is not sufficient. It is still necessary to prove cohabitation, or actual criminal intercourse.
The libellant afterwards gave evidence of actual cohabitation; and a divorce was decreed.
