Rome -- The top appeals court in Italy annulled the marriage of a woman who "theorized" about having an affair but never actually cheated.
The Cassation Court ruled to uphold a lower court's ruling in favor of the annulment, which leaves the woman without any financial support from her former husband, "even though there was no evidence of the woman frequenting other men," ANSA reported Tuesday.
The woman had filed the appeal against the annulment to seek a divorce involving alimony payments.
Court sources told ANSA the couple told judges she had "theorized" about marriage without sexual fidelity, but "never put the idea into practice."

Martin Barab, a lawyer for Hannibal Pictures, one of the defendants named in the suit, told CNN Brody has been paid $960,000 for his work, but is still owed the rest of his $1.5 million fee.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in California, alleges funding for the project fell through and Brody's renegotiated contract "expressly granted the absolute right to withhold consent to the use of his likeness in the picture until he was paid the full amount of the $640,000 that he deferred," CNN said.
