Divorce that doesn’t require one of the parties to be proved in court to have committed adultery. Or some other acceptable reason, but in many cases that didn’t include a man beating his wife, and forcing her to have sex was not rape. There’s more than one movie from that era where the woman who wants a divorce has to hire a man to be “caught” in a hotel room with her, just so she can be free of her marriage. Quite a few others have women going to live in a women’s hostel in Nevada for about 8 weeks? in order to establish residency, so they can apply for a divorce under the more-relaxed Nevada laws.
