Marital community ends only upon divorce or annulment; factual separation does not terminate it for social security purposes.

The Supreme Court reversed the Social Insurance Agency's denial of a family pension, ruling that the marital community persists until a formal divorce or annulment is granted. Although the parties lived separately due to conflict and the woman sought alimony, the court held that factual separation without a judicial decree does not satisfy the statutory requirement for terminating the community. Consequently, the applicant was awarded the pension and costs because the law mandates a court decision to end the marital bond.
