Key legal question
Whether the husband owed post-divorce maintenance to the wife under Art. 125 ZGB
Extracted holding
No maintenance was owed because the wife could reasonably be expected to earn income and the marriage was not found to be life-shaping.
Extracted reasoning
The court upheld the view that the marriage lasted a little over six years, was childless, and did not show sufficient life-shaping effects. The wife had been expected for years to re-enter work, her health problems did not prove total incapacity, and her alleged cultural uprooting was unsubstantiated.
