A Brazilian couple have won￡10,000 compensation after a banking error ended their 35-year marriage.
Maria Rodriques filed for divorce after her bank wrongly told her that her husband Luiz Gonzaga had a joint account with another woman. However, Mrs Rodrigues says she might stay divorced - even though the bank has admitted being at fault.
The dispute started five years ago when she went into the Estado de Santa Catarina bank in Santa Catarina to withdraw her husband's pension. Mrs Rodrigues told Jornal Nacional: "They told me I wasn't my husband's wife and even showed me on the computer screen the name of another woman who would be his real wife."
Refusing to listen to her husband's protestations of innocence, Mrs Rodrigues filed for divorce. Meanwhile, Mr Gonzaga hired a lawyer and set about trying to prove the bank was at fault. Finally, he won his case in the courts and the bank was ordered to pay the couple￡10,000 compensation.
But, even after the court ruling, Mrs Rodrigues says she is not sure about getting back together with her former husband. Mr Gonzaga said: "The money is good, but it doesn't make up for a failed marriage, does it?"
由于银行的失误，把巴西夫妇路易斯和玛丽亚的联名帐户的女主人姓名搞错，使玛丽亚误以为丈夫有外遇。由此，这对夫妇结束了长达35年的婚姻。路易斯坚持自己是无辜的，并聘请了一名律师，最终证明是银行出错，并获得了银行1万英镑的赔偿金。
5年前，玛丽亚到银行支取丈夫的养老金时，银行的职员告诉她，电脑上显示的帐户上女主人的姓名并不是她，路易斯的太太另有其人。玛丽亚并没有听丈夫的解释，马上提出离婚。如今，在法院判决银行出错并应赔偿客户损失后，玛丽亚说，她不知道该不该和前夫复合，拿到赔偿金当然是好，但钱并不能挽回失败的婚姻。
