Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the residence permit could be revoked because the marital cohabitation condition was no longer met.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The permit was conditional on living together with the spouse, and that condition ceased when the spouses separated and the husband left Switzerland.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 9(2)(b) ANAG, a permit may be revoked if an attached condition is not fulfilled. The relevant spouse-based right arises only upon marriage and requires cohabitation; the five-year period for permanent settlement had not elapsed before separation.
