(Code 1868, § 1726; Code 1873, § 1727; Code 1882, § 1727; Civil Code 1895, § 2445; Civil Code 1910, § 2964; Code 1933, § 30-122; Ga. L. 1946, p. 90, § 12; Ga. L. 1960, p. 1024, § 1; Ga. L. 1979, p. 466, § 5.)
- Former Code 1933, § 30-122 (see now O.C.G.A. § 19-5-17) did not mean that granting of divorce to one party automatically granted other party divorce as the words "rights and disabilities" (now "rights" only) and "divorce" were not synonymous terms. Schwartz v. Schwartz, 222 Ga. 460, 150 S.E.2d 809 (1966).
- It is reversible error to charge that, if the jury grants one party a divorce as a matter of law, the opposite party should also be granted a divorce; "rights and disabilities" (now "rights" only) and "divorce" are not synonymous terms. Perlotte v. Perlotte, 218 Ga. 27, 126 S.E.2d 220 (1962).
- Inhibition by decree of divorce, or statute of state or country in which it is granted, against remarriage, as affecting a marriage celebrated in another state or country, 32 A.L.R. 1116; 51 A.L.R. 325.
