Legal Definitions - incompatible

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.
