The Supreme Court dismissed the widow's cassation appeal regarding her claim for a family pension. The lower court denied the claim because the applicant lived abroad for over a decade, severing physical and spiritual ties with her deceased husband despite maintaining a legal community of property. The Supreme Court ruled that 'marital community' in pension statutes requires actual cohabitation, not merely the legal status of property sharing.
