The court denied the request for judicial separation of persons and property, holding that the alleged insults were not grave enough to justify the dissolution of the marital bond. The parties argued regarding the severity of the offenses, but the court emphasized that such gravity must be assessed concretely considering the spouses' social status, education, and moral sensitivity. Consequently, the court ruled that the insults did not reach the threshold of making cohabitation impossible or unsustainable.

SUMÁRIO

I - A apreciação da gravidade das injurias tem de ser feita em face de cada caso concreto, atendendo-se as circunstancias que o rodearam, a condição social dos conjuges, ao seu grau de educação e sensibilidade moral.

II - So deve considerar-se como injuria grave para o efeito de ser decretada judicialmente a separação de pessoas e bens a ofensa dirigida por um conjuge ao outro que o atinja tão profundamente na sua honra e consideração que torne impossivel e insustentavel a convivencia conjugal.
