Abstract
The four usual defenses raised to bar actions for divorce are connivance, collusion, condonation, and recrimination. Connivance is ordinarily defined as consent to the misconduct alleged as grounds for divorce.' It differs from collusion in that there are present actual grounds for divorce, rather than fictitious causes or concealed defenses; from condonation in that consent is given before the misconduct occurs, not forgiveness afterwards; from recrimination in that it has to do with the very grounds on which the plaintiff sues, not some other act of misconduct.
