473. There are also milder causes which are real weighty causes and separate from the bed though not from the home, such as the cessation of childbearing with the wife due to the feebleness of advanced age, and hence a non-tolerance and refusal of actual love, while ardor still continues with the man; besides other like causes in which the rational judgment sees what is just, and which do not hurt the conscience.
