Groundbreaking court judgment in Spain. Husband has to pay ex-wife for 25 years of housework. “Me and my daughters were left with nothing”

A precedent-setting judgment was passed in southern Spain. The court ruled that Ivana Moral’s ex-husband must pay her nearly PLN 1 million for 25 years of unpaid work she put into running the house. This work was valued by summing up the minimum wages from all the years of their life together.

In addition, the court ordered the man to pay his ex-wife a monthly pension. He described the case British Daily Mail.

Ivana Moral got married in 1995 and divorced in 2020. The division of duties in the marriage was as follows: the woman raised children and took care of the household for 25 years, while her husband developed the company and dealt with finances. Before getting married, the couple signed a prenuptial agreement, which stipulated that the property resulting from running the business belonged to the man only.

Almost PLN 1 million for 25 years of working from home. Court ruling in Spain a breakthrough

The verdict was handed down in a court in Velez-Malaga in southern Spain. Foreign media point out that Judge Laura Ruiz Alaminos took into account all the circumstances of the case, not only those resulting from the signed prenuptial agreement. First of all, it was the fact that a woman, after 25 years of work in the form of e.g. raising children, washing, cleaning, cooking, etc., she would be left with nothing.

The “Daily Mail” reports that the man must pay the woman £ 180,000, which gives almost PLN 1 million.

How did the judiciary estimate this amount? The minimum wage for all the years and months of marriage during which the woman devoted her time, energy and commitment to running the household was added together.

“Me and my daughters were left with nothing”

It was clearly a case of abuse – being completely financially excluded by my ex-husband, left with nothing after the end of my marriage (…). So me and my daughters were left with nothing after all these years of devoting all my time, energy and love to my family

– she confessed in an interview with the media.

– I supported my husband at work and in the family (…). I never had access to his financial affairs. Everything was in his name.
