Spousal cohabitation not required for pension if one spouse is mentally ill and the other provides support.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of a widow's claim for a family pension due to her husband's death. The widow argued that marital cohabitation was not required given her chronic mental illness and her husband's intellectual disability, noting he provided partial support. The Court agreed that rigid interpretations of cohabitation fail in cases involving severe disabilities and ordered the case remanded for a new trial with proper evidence.
