In Spain, a divorce court has ordered an ex-husband to pay his ex-wife €23,000, which is the money he would have paid to a cleaning lady had his wife not done all the cleaning for the family.

    \ the money he would have paid to a cleaning lady

    Did the court give this explanation?

    Why did he pay her at all?

      Because she made no money while married to him while her services enabled him to earn what he did.

      It is part of a court-ordered divorce settlement.

    I’m single and childless, and I do all the cleaning in my apartment myself.
    …or else it doesn’t get done. And I don’t like living in a pigsty.

      This fellow had hired a cleaning lady when his wife and he split up for a few months. This was what the court used to pass the judgment it did. So you are right, you’ve got to be self-sufficient or prepare to pay.
