Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court could declare the wife's appeal inadmissible as to the divorce decree and order transcription under Art. 148 CC.
Extracted holding
Yes. The divorce part had become final because the appeal against it was inadmissible; transcription after expiry of the federal appeal period was proper.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the wife had not raised any valid challenge to the cantonal court's inadmissibility ruling. Under Art. 148(1) CC, a divorce judgment may enter into force partially, and the principle of unity of the divorce judgment does not prevent finality of the uncontested divorce part.
