The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's dismissal of a widow's family pension claim and remanded the case for retrial. The lower court had rejected the claim based on a lack of marital community due to separate living and severed contact following the husband's alcoholism. The Supreme Court ruled that such factual assessments must consider the emotional motivation behind the spouses' behaviors, not just their actions.
