A quick definition of gross neglect of duty:

Gross neglect of duty is when someone willfully and unjustifiably abandons their responsibilities or obligations, such as military service or taking care of their family. In family law, spousal desertion is when one spouse stops living with the other, intends to abandon them, and doesn't have their consent or a good reason for leaving. This is also called gross neglect of duty. Constructive desertion is when one spouse's bad behavior forces the other to leave the home, and criminal desertion is when one spouse doesn't take care of the other when they're sick or needy. Obstinate desertion is when one spouse refuses to come back home, and willful, continued, and obstinate desertion is a longer way of saying obstinate desertion.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Gross neglect of duty refers to the willful and unjustified abandonment of a person's duties or obligations, especially in military service or to a spouse or family. It is also known as desertion.

Example: In family law, spousal desertion is defined by five elements: a cessation of cohabitation, the lapse of a statutory period, an intention to abandon, a lack of consent from the abandoned spouse, and a lack of spousal misconduct that might justify the abandonment. This means that if a spouse leaves their partner without any valid reason and without their partner's consent, it can be considered gross neglect of duty or desertion.

Explanation: Gross neglect of duty or desertion is a serious offense that can have legal consequences. It involves abandoning one's responsibilities without any valid reason or justification. In the case of spousal desertion, it can lead to divorce proceedings and legal action. It is important to fulfill one's duties and obligations, especially towards family and loved ones.
