Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant had a right to renewal of her residence permit under Article 7 ANAG despite the breakdown of the marriage.
Decisione estratta
No. Reliance on the marriage was abusive because no realistic prospect of continued marital cohabitation existed.
Motivazione estratta
Article 7 ANAG protects genuine spousal life, not a merely formal marriage. The authorities may deny renewal where the foreign spouse invokes a marriage that is only nominal and no longer offers any prospect of living together, regardless of the reason for separation.
