QCOSTARICA – The Sala II of the Supreme Court upheld the divorce between an 80 year old man and his former wife, 29 years his junior.
The reason for divorce was based on the abuse he suffered while with her and that her only interest in the marriage was alimony (pension in Spanish). The Sala II confirmed the cruelty lived by the elderly man and the woman’s intent to cause him suffering and harm.
“There was a power of authority. Costa Rica legislation includes such as a cause for divorce,” said the bulletin issued by the Court press office.
“Witnesses told the Sala II that the man had had no communication with his family while living with the woman and when he finally was able to return to his sister’s house, he did so in poor health and when they ran into the woman in the street, she spoke in a derogatory manner about her former husband and expressed in her interest in alimony,” said the Court press release.
The decision by the High Court reiterated that the woman had full independence, while the man’s health suffered and required help in everyday tasks, making the man vulnerable and had been exposed to abuse.
The divorce was requested by the man’s family, asking the Family Court to declare the marriage dissolved based on cruelty and to exonerate him from paying alimony. The Family Court granted the divorce.
However, the woman appealed the case to the Supreme Court, “considering that the accusations made against her were false and that no evidence existed that her husband was abused by her.”
However, the Sala II dismissed the appeal and upheld the lower court decision.
“The (family) court did not err in assessing the evidence adduced by the plaintiff, existing grounds for divorce … finding not only acts of cruelty, by the man became depressed and his health suffered, which led to the divorce proceedings,” was the explanation by the Sala II.
The names were not released by the Court.

WOW!! AMAZING a man has won against a female in this country!! MANY women verbally, mentally, emotionally, physically abuse &/or neglect their man but most men are afraid to talk about it thinking others won’t see him as manly enough.
Yet if they even agree when their 400 pound wife says “Do I look fat in these jeans?” – his ass if hauled off to jail for verbal abuse!!!
We hear of/see incidents like this OFTEN – of the gold diggers ONLY marrying a guy with the intention of screwing him over & STEALING ALL his things – which up until now, from ALL the stories I’ve heard, it sounds like the girl was ALWAYS winning!!
I have NO issues with the older guy-younger girl situation (I’d be a hypocrite since I prefer guys WAY younger than me) as long as it’s a MUTUAL benefit (hell – females marry &/or stay married to guys all the time that don’t like them but want the financial “security” that are the guys own age & then often don’t “give” him much in return!! At least these older guy/young gals are giving each other something back when people are being upfront!!!
I’ve known/heard of MANY guys that were accused of all sorts of things by some of these putas calling themselves wives or girlfriends. Let’s hope FINALLY the courts will wake up & PROTECT at least the good guys & jail these #^&%*#* & their families that are often in on it!!!!
And where are all the domestic violence groups defending him with “victims don’t lie about that” …. oh, wait, it’s a man who’s claiming abuse.
