Summary

A husband petitioned for nullity of marriage on the ground that the wife wilfully refused to consummate it. After trial, the court granted the decree of nullity, finding the husband's evidence credible that the wife consistently refused sexual intercourse throughout the marriage, rejecting the wife's claim that consummation occurred on the second day of marriage.
