New York Court of Appeals

Jacqueline Kober v. Josef Kober

October 28, 196516 N.Y.2d 191

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Special Term's denial of the husband's motion to dismiss, holding that the plaintiff's amended complaint alleging fraud concerning the husband's Nazi affiliation and fanatical anti‑Semitic beliefs states a sufficient cause of action for annulment because such fraud is material to the marriage contract.
