The woman will be “compensated with 204,624.86 euros, quantifying said amount by applying the Minimum Interprofessional Salary in each year since 1996”, affirms the sentence of February 15 of a court in Vélez-Málaga (Andalusia, south), to which the agency AFP news agency had access and broadcast today.
The woman’s defense specified that the calculation period ran from June 1995 to December 2020, 24 and a half years.
In the trial it was proven that this woman, mother of two daughters, and married under a separate property regime, dedicated herself “essentially to working at home” since she got married, “that is, taking care of the home and family with everything that this implies”, justifies the sentence.
The man must also pay a monthly alimony for his daughters, adds the ruling.
In an interview with Cadena Ser radio, the woman explained that her husband “did not want me to work outside”, although she did help him work in the gyms that he owned, in charge of “public relations, acting as a monitor , in short, everything that could”.
In addition to that, the woman reported that she dedicated herself “exclusively to housework, to taking care of my husband, to taking care of the house.”
“It forced me to have the specific role” of housework, “to be in a range where I couldn’t move too much,” he said.
“(I am) very happy because I think” the sentence “has been well deserved,” she concluded. (Telam)
