REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAIROBI

FAMILY DIVISION

DIVORCE CAUSE NO. 110 OF 2014

J K M……...…...…………PETITIONER

VERSUS

B G K…………………..….RESPONDENT

JUDGMENT

This is undefended Cause.  The petitioner testified that on 24th June 2005 she and the respondent got married under the Marriage Act (Cap 150)and they set up a matrimonial home in Nairobi.  The couple did not get children.

On 30th December 2010 the respondent moved out of the matrimonial home.  This followed one year of living together without talking after constant quarrelling.  The petitioner tried to reach out to the respondent through his mother and uncle but he was not interested.  In the view of the petitioner, the marriage has broken down beyond repair.  I accept that evidence.

On ground of desertion, I order the dissolution of the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent.  Decree nisi shall issue immediately and shall become absolute in 30 days.
