A divorce may also be granted to the husband when the wife is pregnant at the time of marriage, without his knowledge or agency; and to the wife in case of cruelty by the husband, when he has committed actual violence on her person, attended with danger to life or health, or when, from his conduct, there is reasonable apprehension of such violence. The applicant must be a citizen, and have resided in the state 1 year prior to the filing of the bill except in case of abandonment, when a residence of 3 years is required. The causes for which divorce is sought need not have occurred in this state. An absolute divorce bars the wife of her dower, and of any distributive share in the personal estate of her husband, and a divorce for pregnancy of the wife bastardizes the issue. A limited divorce may be granted for any of the causes which may be assigned as grounds for an absolute divorce.
