intentional infliction of physical or emotional distress


Explanation:
En el código civil de Puerto rico sólo hallé de manera genérica como causal de divorcio, Art. 96. Causas de divorcio. (31 L.P.R.A. sec. 321): (4) El trato cruel o las injurias graves.

Me convenció usar los términos que continuación encontré:
The infliction of physical or mental distress, especially when considered a determinant in granting a divorce.

Emotional Distress
Extreme personal suffering caused by the intentional or negligent actions of another. 445 N.W. 2d 706. Prosser & Keeton, Torts Ch. 2, §12, p. 60 (5th ed. 1984). Physical injury (or even physical contact) is no longer a required element for the recovery of damages. Id. Ch. 2, §12 p. 56-57. Monetary awards have been issued in cases of harassment, sexual harassment, libel, and slander. Id. P. 60-61; Ch. 19, §116A, p. 844. 20 Empl. Rel. L.J. 657-65. intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress involve those two respective states of mind. Examples might include a lab technician calling and deliberately falsely stating, "Your lab results show that you have HIV" (intentional) versus the loss of a coffin and its contents by an airline (negligent).


Intentional Infliction Of Emotionaldistress: Intentionally causing severe emotional distress by extreme or outrageous conduct.
