Divorce and Undeserving of Permanent Alimony according to the Practices of the Hungarian Royal Curia

In the following section of this study, an answer will be sought to the question whether there were any court practices according to which, although the court approved the wife’s claim for permanent alimony, the husband could be exempted from this liability.Regarding material issues and according to the resolutions of the Curia, there were three of such conditions; the issue of undeserving, the cases the contract concluded between the parties and documented as a notarial deed would be declared to be against public mores, which specifically appeared as a reason for exemption from the liability of alimony; and the unpropertied status of husbands and the respective obligation of parents to pay maintenance, and the respective options for exemptions from this liability. Within the framework of this subject, we will only focus on the issue of undeserving.
