Deutsches Scheidungsrecht allmählich Gespött der Welt

Arne Hoffmann, (vor 8450 Tagen)

Eine meiner Nachrichtenquellen aus den USA, die "Sex News Daily", berichtet über einen geschiedenen Mann, der seinen Unterhalt an den neuen Ehemann seiner Ex-Frau entrichten muss, nachdem seine Ex-Frau starb:

--- (...) Lots of divorced men feel they got the short end of the stick. But the award for Really Getting Screwed goes to a civil servant in Mainz, Germany. He has a pension of around 1,400 Euros (USD $1,566) a month, which he's been splitting with his ex-wife. According to German law, the ex-spouse with the smaller pension has a right to receive part of the other's pension to achieve parity. But then the ex-wife died, and our hero thought he was finally free to enjoy his full pension. Not so fast, said a German court. The court ruled that the ex-wife's husband should inherit her share of our hero's pension, and therefore our hero has to continue paying a share . . . to him. Read the full story on ABC News:
