A: The use of force, menace, duress, or fraud in obtaining the marriage is a ground for divorce. "Duress" is defined as any illegal imprisonment or legal imprisonment used for an illegal purpose, threats of bodily or other harm, or other means amounting to coercion or tending to coerce the will of another and actually inducing that person to do an act contrary to his free will. "Menace" is an overt act, short of an actual assault, which is of a threatening character.O.C.G.A. § 19-5-3(4).
