There are both lawful reasons and just reasons for separation. Lawful reasons are those arising from judicial edicts, just ones those so judged by the husband alone. The lawful and just reasons for separation from bed and from home have been briefly listed above (252, 253). Among these physical defects are diseases which infect the whole body so severely that fatal results may follow from the contagion. Of this sort are malignant and plague-type fevers, leprosy, venereal infection, cancer. Then there are diseases which make the body so repulsive that it is impossible for others to live with them, ones which emit harmful discharges and noxious gases, either from the surface of the body or from inside it, especially from the stomach and lungs. Diseases of the surface are malignant pox, warts, pustules, consumption due to scurvy, acute scabies, especially if the face is disfigured by them. Among emissions from the stomach are constantly foul, evil-smelling and rank belches; from the lungs foul and rotten breath due to pockets of pus, ulcers, abscesses or corruption of the blood or lymph. In addition there are other diseases of various types, such as fits of unconsciousness, causing total feebleness of the body and loss of strength; paralysis, a slackening and relaxation of the membranes and ligaments which control movement; epilepsy; permanent disability due to strokes; certain chronic diseases; colic, hernia and other diseases known to pathology. Mental defects which are just grounds for separation from bed and home are, for instance, madness, inflammation of the brain, unsoundness of mind, real idiocy and silliness, loss of memory and such like. Reason does not require a judge to pronounce these just grounds for taking a concubine, since they are just grounds for a separation.
