Divorce Granted Based on Husband's Fault; Supreme Court Upholds Factual Findings.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Court of Cassation rejected an appeal against a decision that granted a divorce on the grounds of the husband's fault, as the appellate court had found that the proven facts constituted a serious and repeated violation of marital obligations, rendering continued cohabitation intolerable. The Supreme Court reasoned that the appellate court's determination regarding the gravity of the husband's behavior and the resulting intolerance of the marital bond was a matter of factual appreciation outside the scope of cassation review, and that the appellate court had implicitly but necessarily concluded that the wife's own conduct did not negate the fault attributable to the husband.
