Kernrechtsfrage
Whether ordinary household support for a hiding spouse constitutes assistance under Art. 305 StGB.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Ordinary housework does not amount to aiding the evasion of execution unless it can be shown that it actually or at least effectively kept the person away from enforcement for a certain time.
Extrahierte Begründung
Execution-aiding is a conduct offense requiring active conduct; mere passive behavior is insufficient. The decisive element is not that life in freedom becomes more pleasant, but that arrest or execution is made harder. The husband could have provided for himself, and the statute does not criminalize normal interpersonal conduct.
