Definition: When two people who are married have differences that cannot be resolved, they may be considered incompatible. This means that they cannot continue living together as spouses. Incompatibility can be caused by differences in personality or character. If one person wants a divorce and can prove that they are incompatible, the court will grant the divorce even if the other person does not want it.
Definition: When a married couple has persistent and unresolvable differences or conflicts that cannot be reconciled, they are considered incompatible. This makes it impossible for them to continue living together as spouses. It usually results from a conflict of personality and character.
For example, if one spouse wants to have children and the other does not, this could be a source of incompatibility. Another example could be if one spouse is very social and outgoing, while the other is introverted and prefers to stay at home. These differences can cause tension and conflict that cannot be resolved, leading to an incompatible marriage.
If one spouse asserts a divorce and the incompatibility is proven through evidence, the court will grant the divorce even if the other party is unwilling to divorce.
