The jurisdiction of divorce is very important part of conflict of Laws. But the question of choice of law has never been prominent in our and English rules of the conflict of Laws relating to divorce. English Courts have jurisdiction to entertain proceedings for divorce if (and only if) either of the parties to marriage (a) is domiciled in England on the date when the proceedings are begun, or (b) was habitually resident in England throughout the period of one year with that date. In proceedings in England for divorce, the court will apply English domestic law. Hence,if a spouse habitually resident in England but domiciled abroad petitions for divorce on a ground recognize by the law of his domicile but not English law, the court has no power to grant a decree. Conversely, if the petition for divorce on a ground recognized by English law, it is immaterial that the ground is not recognized by the law of his domicile.
