Key legal question
Whether the cantonal judgment violated the wife's right to a reasoned decision under Article 29(2) Constitution by not addressing a decisive argument on the husband's income capacity.
Extracted holding
Yes. The cantonal court failed to deal with a relevant and decisive argument, thereby violating the duty to give reasons.
Extracted reasoning
The authority must address decisive issues briefly but sufficiently. Since the husband's contributive capacity is central to family maintenance and the wife had produced supporting documents, the omission could not be cured and amounted to a constitutional violation.
