Key legal question
Whether the wife was entitled to post-divorce maintenance under Art. 125 CC despite the short marriage.
Extracted holding
Yes. The marriage had concretely affected the wife's financial situation through cultural uprooting and dependence, and she could not reasonably be expected to regain self-sufficiency.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that cultural uprooting can make a marriage life-shaping even if it was brief. The wife, who moved to Switzerland at age 56 solely to marry, had not worked during the marriage, had unsuccessfully tried to become financially independent during separation, was now retired, and could not reasonably re-enter the workforce.
