Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the facilitated naturalization was obtained by deception so that annulment under Art. 41 BüG was lawful.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The court held that the timing and circumstances, especially the divorce request nine months after naturalization and the rapid divorce thereafter, supported the presumption that the marriage was no longer intact when the joint declaration and naturalization occurred.
Extrahierte Begründung
A stable marital union under Art. 27 BüG requires an actual life partnership and an intact mutual will to maintain a stable marriage. The burden remained on the administration to show lack of such a union, and the applicant failed to rebut the inference drawn from the chronology and the implausibility of the explanation based on child-related disagreements.
