The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the husband's action for judicial separation of persons and property based solely on his wife's alleged sexual relations with his brother. Although the court acknowledged the wife's conduct was questionable, it found no evidence of a grave moral injury sufficient to justify the separation. Consequently, the court ruled that the procedural act did not meet the legal threshold for dissolving the marital bond.

SUMÁRIO

I - Não constitui ofensa grave à integridade moral do marido, não justificando, portanto, a separação judicial de pessoas e bens, o procedimento da mulher que, embora criticável, não foi de molde a poder concluir-se que ela manteve relações sexuais com um irmão dele.

II - Improcede, assim, a acção de separação de pessoas e bens proposta com esse único fundamento.
