As used in ordinary parlance, "cruelty" signifies a disposition to inflict suffering; to delight in or exhibit indifference to the pain or misery of others; mercilessness or hard-heartedness as exhibited in action. If in the marriage relationship, one spouse by his conduct causes wanton, malicious or unnecessary infliction of pain or suffering upon the body, the feelings or emotions of the other, his conduct may well constitute cruelty which will entitle a petitioner to dissolution of the marriage if, in the court's opinion, it amounts to physical or mental cruelty "of such a kind as to render intolerable the continued cohabitation of the spouses.

La cruauté qui constitue un motif de divorce aux termes de la Loi sur le divorce, qu'elle soit physique ou mentale, est une question de fait. L'établissement d'un tel fait doit dépendre de la preuve présentée dans la cause particulière qu'examine le tribunal [...] Le mot «cruauté» suppose une souffrance excessive, une douleur aiguë, le manque d'indulgence, et non pas simplement le mécontentement, l'agacement, la colère ou l'insatisfaction. De plus, la loi énonce que la cruauté doit être de nature à rendre intolérable la continuation de la cohabitation.  2, record 3, French, - cruaut%C3%A9

In the nineteenth century the standard of civilization was explicitly asserted in the text of conventions-first, in the Declaration of St. Petersburg, which refers to the "laws of humanity", then in the final Protocol of the Brussels Conference of 1874, and later in the famous de Martens clause included in the preambles to Hague Convention II of 1899 and Hague Convention IV of 1907. Resolution 1653(XVI) of the United Nations General Assembly, of 24 November 1961, on illegality of the use of nuclear weapons incorporates the sense of these declarations; according to its text, "the laws of humanity" prohibit causing unnecessary human suffering as well as indiscriminate suffering and destruction.  1, record 10, English, - laws%20of%20humanity
