A Vélez-Malaga court in southern Spain has ruled that the ex-husband must pay Moral 204 euros ($624,86) in compensation for unpaid housework during their 215-year marriage.

The decision means she will receive the equivalent of Spain's minimum monthly wage for the years they were married.

Moral, who divorced her husband in 2020, will also receive a monthly pension of 500 euros ($527).

The ruling stated that Moral exclusively performed all household chores during their marriage, including constantly contributing to the family-owned gym.

The court also ruled that Moral should be compensated because she was "deprived of any possible career due to her exceptional devotion to home and family," adding that her ex-husband increased his assets exponentially during their marriage.

The man was able to buy a Porsche, Range Rover, BMW motorcycles, and a 173-acre (70 ha) olive oil farm with proceeds from the family gym. The olive farm brings the ex-husband about $4000 a month.

Meanwhile, Moral couldn't even afford to buy her daughters a set of workbooks, she told NIUS.

When the couple married in 1995, Moral signed a property division agreement. This agreement meant that her husband would share their house and common property with her, but keep his wealth.

Initially, Moral received half of their house in a divorce, but received no money.

“The reason I decided to speak to the media is because I wanted women to know that we can qualify for housework pay when there is a property division agreement,” Moral said.

Moral's lawyer Marta Fuentes said the decision was a victory for women who worked in the "shadow" of their husbands.

Fuentes added: “So that he can continue his career, Moral stayed at home to look after the children. She was his shadow so he could rise professionally and become someone."
