Ok, there's a pregnant woman in WA who was seeking a divorce from the man who was not the father of her baby. The judge refused to grant her the divorce, even though her husband had abused her.

Here, a man's negligence towards his born children and disinterest in his mentally ill wife was rewarded by a judge in that judge granting him a divorce while she goes to prison for the rest of her life, leaving him free and clear with no children in tow to marry someone else.

Should judges be allowed such subjective lattitude when granting divorces? What else needs to be brought into the picture to make it more uniform?
