““The idea of a divorce on the ground stated is an idea of recent origin. The legislative concept embodied in the statute is that when the conduct of parties in living apart over a long lapse of time without cohabitation has made it probable that they cannot live together in happiness, the best interest of the parties and of the state will be promoted by a divorce.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The statute is very plain. It does not in terms require that a party should be without fault, and we do not think that such limitation may be inferred from it.” Herrick v. Herrick, 55 Nev. 59 , 25 P.2d 378 , at page 379; Kohlsaat v. Kohlsaat, 62 Nev. 485 , 155 P.2d 474 .”
