Tokens: The
spouses
were
Polish
nationals
who
got
married
in
Poland
and
subsequently
moved
to
Switzerland
,
where
they
had
their
children
.
That
was
apparently
on
the
understanding
that
married
life
would
continue
unimpeded
.
Unfortunately
it
did
not
and
,
as
confirmed
by
the
Polish
courts
in
the
divorce
proceedings
,
the
marital
split
was
entirely
due
to
the
conduct
of
the
applicant
.
He
formed
a
relationship
with
an
employee
,
with
whom
he
set
up
home
very
close
to
where
his
wife
also
had
to
live
.
She
found
herself
completely
isolated
but
did
not
abandon
hope
that
her
husband
might
return
to
her
.
Matters
reached
a
crisis
point
when
the
applicant
’s
partner
became
pregnant
.
As
established
in
the
divorce
proceedings
,
the
applicant
placed
his
wife
in
a
very
vulnerable
position
.
He
closed
his
own
bank
account
and
deactivated
his
wife
’s
credit
card
.
He
announced
to
his
wife
that
their
savings
amounting
to
80,000
Swiss
francs
(
CHF
)
would
be
divided
into
two
parts
but
that
she
would
receive
only
CHF
9,000
to
10,000
.
Then
the
applicant
ordered
his
wife
to
quit
their
flat
and
move
into
a
two
-
bedroom
apartment
.
The
applicant
also
took
most
of
the
documents
belonging
to
his
wife
,
such
as
her
employment
certificates
and
her
letters
.
The
health
of
the
applicant
’s
wife
deteriorated
:
she
developed
anaemia
,
lost
weight
and
started
to
suffer
from
severe
depression
.
