A Spanish divorcée has been ordered to pay €1 000 (about R10 200) damages to her ex after she posted photos on Facebook wearing a T-shirt with a rude message about him, reports said.
According to Mail Online, the 40-year-old woman posted the image back in 2010. In December that year, her former husband saw the offending images and filed for damages.
The couple divorced in 2005, UK website Register said.
A court in Madrid sided with the ex-husband and agreed that the phrase “Mi exmarido es gilipollas”' which roughly translates as “my ex-husband is an a**hole” was an attack on the victim's dignity and damaged his reputation.
The judge ordered the woman to pay her ex €2 000, and a €240 fine.
These were reduced on appeal to €1 000 damages and eight days' house arrest in lieu of the fine.
To make matters worse, the woman had to ask the judge to pay the damages in instalments as she doesn’t earn enough money to pay the fine in one go, Mail Online said.
Telling the judge she only earned €700 a month, she responded to the verdict by saying: “I started crying because I couldn't believe it. I don't understand how the complaint could have ended in court. It's only a T-shirt.”
According to reports, the now very expensive T-shirt, was bought by the woman's current partner as a joke present for her on holiday. - IOL
