Summary: The court having pronounced divorce of the couple as a result of their wrongdoings, the unsatisfied wife appeals that the divorce shouldbe pronounced as the fault of her husband. Indeed, the appellant alleges that her husband humiliated her at the airport by accusing her of stealing his money whereas the police, upon searching her, found nothing. Under Article 352 of the Code of Persons and the Family, this act constitutes a serious offense which would make the maintenance of family life impossible; moreover, the husband did not ask for the divorce. The Court of Appeal considers the wife's request on admissibility and merit:declares the husband at fault for the divorces; entrusts the custody of their child to the mother; grants the father the right of access to the child and orders him to pay maintenance fee.
