Dismissal of request regarding the constitutionality of widow pensions
October 9, 2025
The Supreme Constitutional Court dismissed a request to assess the constitutionality of a provision related to widow pensions for public employees. The case involved a woman who was denied a pension because her marriage occurred after her husband's retirement. The Court's decision invokes the principle of equality and indicates that judges cannot legislate. The case also examined a previous decision concerning the legality of the Lottery Law. Ultimately, the Court's ruling highlights the limits of judicial intervention in legislation.
