On the evidence the wife's cumulative conduct—convictions for common assault, admitted locking out of husband, burning a photograph, documented nocturnal disruptive acts and psychiatric admissions—amounted to behaviour under s.11A(1)(b) such that the husband could not reasonably be expected to live with her; absence of detailed medical reports did not preclude granting a decree nisi, and no blame was attributed to the wife because the behaviour may have stemmed from mental disturbance.
