Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal to issue a marriage capacity certificate under Article 97a CC by analogy was lawful.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The indicia supported the view that the fiancés did not manifestly intend to form a marital community and instead sought to circumvent immigration rules.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court's assessment was not shown to be arbitrary. The couple had limited knowledge of each other, a large age difference, communication difficulties, contradictions in their statements, and circumstances suggesting an arranged union of convenience.
