A basis for the granting of a divorce. That is, before a court will grant you a divorce, you have to show that at least one of the grounds listed in the statute exists.

In Illinois the grounds for divorce include: impotence by the husband; bigamy; adultery; desertion for a period of one year or more; habitual drunkenness for a period of at least two years; drug addiction for at least two years; attempt on your life by poison or other means showing malice; extreme and repeated mental cruelty; conviction of a felony or other infamous crime; infection of sexually transmitted disease; irreconcilable differences which is also known as a "no-fault" divorce.

The design is worked through the ground to expose the copperplate beneath. With a hard ground, an etching needle is usually used.
