There is only one ground for divorce – that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. The parties must also have been married for at least one year before they may begin divorce proceedings.
This may be done as either a sole or joint application. In a sole application then one spouse, the applicant, starts the proceedings against the other spouse, the respondent. In a joint application then both spouses apply together for the divorce and both are known as applicants. A joint application can later become a sole application if one spouse refuses to proceed or decides not to proceed. Although an application by a sole applicant cannot later necome a joint application.
