The evidence the court <span class="noglossary">will</span> require isn't ''indirect'', or "circumstantial" evidence, like a hotel receipt or a used condom, but ''direct'' evidence, like a photograph of the adultery while it is occurring or your spouse's admission to committing having committed adultery.

The court <span class="noglossary">will</span> not grant a divorce based on adultery or cruelty if the adultery or cruelty has been ''forgiven'', or "condoned." If the bad behaviour has been condoned, the marital relationship is considered not to have broken down, and the court won't make a divorce order.
