When the couple first entered into the marriage in 1995, Moral had signed a separation of goods agreement, per the i. This agreement meant that her husband would split their home and common possessions with her, but hold onto his wealth.

Initially, Moral was awarded half their house but no money in the divorce, the i reported.

"The reason I decided to speak to the media is I wanted women to know that we can claim for housework when there is a separation of goods agreement," Moral said in an interview with the publication.

No man is going to marry if this sort of thing is possible.

Sowell points out that you can't just arbitrarily adjust a contract to benefit one party. This will affect the willingness of the other party to make contracts. He gave as an example the way blacks are benefited by excessive protection under anti-discrimination laws (which lessens the willingness of businesses to hire them), but it applies equally well here.
