Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of a settlement permit and renewal of the residence permit was justified because the marriage was invoked abusively under Art. 7 ANAG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The factual findings showed that the marital relationship had irretrievably broken down before five years of marriage had elapsed, so reliance on the marriage was abusive.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted the cantonal findings that there was no remaining will or realistic prospect of marital cohabitation; repeated violence, separation proceedings, and the lack of any continuing life partnership showed rights abuse.
