Questão jurídica principal
Whether the wife was entitled to post-divorce maintenance under Art. 125 ZGB
Decisão extraída
No. The marriage was not life-shaping, the wife was expected to seek economic self-sufficiency after separation, and her illness was not shown to be marriage-related.
Fundamentação extraída
An eight-year childless marriage between relatively young spouses did not trigger the presumption of life-shaping marriage. The wife had time during the six-year separation to adjust economically. Health problems alone do not create a maintenance entitlement absent a marriage-created reliance interest or marriage-related illness.
