The court ruled that pre-divorce disqualification does not affect the right to alimony under the 1867 Civil Code. The parties argued regarding the validity of the divorce and the necessity of support, with the husband seeking disqualification and the wife requesting alimony. The court held that disqualification is irrelevant for alimony grants and that limiting the duration merely reduces the amount rather than changing the legal object.

SUMÁRIO

I - No dominio do Codigo Civil de 1867, a indignidade anterior ao decretamento do divorcio era indiferente para o efeito da concessão de alimentos ao conjuge que deles carecesse.

II - A circunstancia de se limitar no tempo a prestação de alimentos não representa condenação em objecto diverso, mas somente em quantidade inferior a pedida.
