The other person commits domestic violence. Is this grounds for divorce?

Yes, it is grounds for divorce!

If one spouse assaults the other, it is grounds for divorce in court.
Our civil law stipulates the grounds for divorce at trial as follows:

It was ruled that this refers to cases of abuse or serious insult (Supreme Court decision 99M180, November 26, 1999).
In light of this, if one spouse frequently assaults the other spouse and the marriage breaks down to the extent that it cannot be restored to a normal marital relationship,
