The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision denying a divorced wife family pension benefits. The court found that the lower court incorrectly applied Article 27 of the Family and Guardianship Code, which governs alimony during marriage, rather than Article 60, which applies to divorced spouses. The court ruled that the statutory basis for the pension depends on the specific alimony right established at the time of the husband's death, distinguishing the legal status of a divorced wife from a widow.
