The disease is returned to an incurable mental disorder by one of the married couple, and the disease is not simply able to nurse with pet and static care or can be predicted as other diseases, such as other diseases, and in addition to the demand for constant mental and physical sacrifice to all the members of the family, if the family requires a large amount of financial expenditure for treatment, and if the other family suffering from the other family's suffering from the suffering that the other family does not end at any time, the other spouse cannot force the other spouse to live without any limit in accordance with the duty of care between the spouse.

Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal shall be borne by the appellant.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
1. According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the appellant and the respondent filed a marriage report on January 18, 1971 with one male and female on which they had not been able to file a claim for divorce from May 1974. Since the respondent showed symptoms of mental disorder, the respondent made efforts to treat the respondent as a mental patient from February 1, 1975 to March 16 of the same year. But the respondent's symptoms do not need to be treated as the respondent's mental treatment treatment for the next 7 months (at least 3 months) and there was no need to receive treatment treatment for a long period of time and to protect the respondent's mental health care and mental science. On the other hand, the defendant filed a claim for divorce from the 19th day of the same year to the 19th day of the same year, and the defendant did not appear to have been able to file a claim for divorce from the 19th day of the same mental disease to the 10th day.
2. As a result, one side of the married couple must cooperate with each other, understand and protect the other as a patriotic situation, and make best efforts to maintain the marital life, even if one side of the married life has returned to an incurable disease, the other party shall be responsible for protecting the other side and supporting the other side by making every effort. However, as the family has a function to protect the common life of all the members related thereto such as their children, etc., not merely only only only only only merely within the community but also within the community of the married couple, and it is not possible for one side of the married couple to take care of an incurable mental disorder, or to take care of the other side, and it is difficult for the court below to see that the other side's mental and physical sacrifice, as it does not require the other side members of the family to make a continuous mental and physical sacrifice, and even if the other side's pain may not incur any pain, it cannot be seen as having been forced by the appellant to live without any limit in the marriage relationship between the other spouse and the other spouse, and it cannot be viewed as having been forced by the appellant to have not been able until now (see, 196).
3. Therefore, the court below's fact-finding is erroneous, and there is no reason to criticize the judgment below on the premise that the court below did not recognize it.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
