Key legal question
Whether the residence permit could be renewed under Art. 7 ANAG despite indications of a sham marriage.
Extracted holding
No material entitlement existed because the marriage was entered into to circumvent immigration rules.
Extracted reasoning
The wife’s statements, corroborated by police investigations and other indications, were clear and consistent; the applicant did not substantively challenge the findings. The court therefore accepted a marriage of convenience aimed at obtaining residence rights.
