Whether hadana compensation (rémunération de la garde) is equivalent to partner/spouse alimony in the context of the Dutch social benefit law on surviving family members.

Outcome of the ruling

Moroccan hadana compensation is not equivalent to the Dutch form of partner/spouse alimony, and therefore the widow could not claim a widow(er)’s pension under the social benefit law on surviving family members.
