Divorce Wife Who Works as a Homemaker for 26 Years of Marriage, Husband Sentenced to Pay Compensation of Rp1.5 Billion

The couple, whose names are not mentioned, got married in 1996. Until the decision to divorce came in 2022, the wife only worked outside the house for a total of 205 days spread over several years.

Quoting Oddity Central, his ex-wife dedicated her life to raising their only daughter and taking care of the household. After their separation, the husband continued to live in the family home that had long been paid for. Meanwhile, the wife had to leave and rent her own place. The wife also had to quickly find a job to meet her own needs.

Not only that, the woman also tried to ask for compensation for all the household chores she did for years as a wife of the man.

The initial decision in this unusual case establishes the compensation that must be paid by the defendant to his former wife amounting to 120,000 euros. However, both disputing parties have decided to appeal. The husband finally agrees to pay for all the work done by his former wife during their marriage. However, he wants a reduction in the amount by 60,000 euros.

Former wife, on the other hand, demands an increase in compensation to become 183,629.36 euros, on the grounds that she dedicated herself to taking care of the house and raising their daughter.

The economic imbalance has a significant impact on the former wife after her marriage ends, as she is forced to seek rough jobs to support herself, leaving little time for her professional aspirations.

While the former husband denies the economic imbalance accused by his ex-wife. He argues that his ex-wife currently has a job to support herself. He also mentioned about his wife no longer being burdened with taking care of their child because their only daughter is already of legal age and does not live with her mother. The Provincial Court of Pontevedra finally decided to reduce the initial compensation of 120,000 euros to 88,025 euros.

The husband is also required to pay a pension to his ex-wife amounting to 350 euros per month for three years, which is updated annually according to the national inflation index. This decision can be appealed by either party to the Supreme Court.
