Husband only wanted wife to work at home and occasionally at Gym he owned
Moral, in her submission to court stated that her husband only wanted her to work at home and occasionally in the gyms he owned.
She stated,
“I have dedicated myself exclusively to housework, looking after my husband and the house. He made me take on the specific role of doing domestic chores, to the extent that. I was in a place where I couldn’t really do much else,”
According to reports, Moral and her husband’s marriage was governed by separation of property regime.
When asked why she was forced to manage “public relations and functioned as a monitor” in her husband’s gyms, Moral told that she didn’t want to work outside the home.
The ex-husband was ordered by a court in Velez-Malaga, southern Spain, to pay Moral a monthly daycare charge for their daughters, one of whom is a minor.
