injured party
A person wronged by the action of the other. Lee v Lee, 182 NC 61, 108 SE 352. The plaintiff; a person having a right of action, particularly a person having a ground of divorce. A statute specifying incurable insanity as a permissible cause for divorce does not, in providing that divorces may be decreed upon the application of the "injured party," make the divorce unattainable because there is no injury to the other party to the marriage, the term referring only to a husband or wife who, by the plain terms of the act, is intended to have a right of action for divorce on the grounds of incurable insanity. State v Brown, 213 Ind 118, 11 NE2d 679, 113 ALR 1243. See innocent or injured person.
