The court dismissed the husband's request for divorce based on alleged violation of conjugal duties. The plaintiff argued that the husband's insufficient contribution to household expenses over two years justified ending the marriage. The court ruled that such financial shortfall alone does not prove a grave violation or a firm intent to permanently terminate cohabitation.

SUMÁRIO

O facto de o marido não ter contribuído suficientemente, durante 2 anos, para as despesas do lar, não traduz uma violação grave, nem revela, só por si, a vontade firme de interromper, de modo permanente e definitivo, a convivência conjugal.
