The court granted the divorce, assigning primary fault to the husband for living with another woman. The wife argued that the husband's repeated statements were incompatible with shared life, yet these stemmed from his own conduct violating duties of respect, cohabitation, and fidelity. The court ruled that the husband's extramarital cohabitation justified the dissolution of the marriage.

SUMÁRIO

Tendo a ré proferido reiteradamente frases incompatíveis com a possibilidade normal de comunhão integral de vida com o autor, mas enraizando-se elas num comportamento deste, lesivo, também, do dever de respeito, bem como dos de coabitação e de fidelidade, passando a viver fora da casa comum com outra mulher, é justificado o divórcio, com culpa principal do autor.
