I don’t think discovering Peter had murdered Mr Noakes would in itself be grounds for Harriet to divorce him at the time, and they haven’t been married long enough for him to commit adultery. Post-1937 maybe Harriet could divorce Peter for desertion, but as the same law changed things so you couldn’t get divorced in the first three years of marriage, she’d still have to wait.
