Husband's Fault-Based Divorce Upheld Against Wife's Appeal
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Court of Cassation rejected an appeal against a divorce decree granted to the husband based on the wife's fault, which was affirmed by the Court of Appeal. The appellate court found that the wife had, on numerous occasions, denigrated the husband in conversations, created scenes involving broken dishes or threats, and had absented herself from the marital home, concluding that this injurious behavior constituted a series of violations of marital duties making the continuation of the marriage intolerable. The high court reasoned that the Court of Appeal had sovereignly assessed the injurious nature of the wife's conduct and implicitly accepted that the husband's alleged faults did not negate the culpability of the wife's actions, thereby legally justifying its decision.
