Is it permissible for a divorcee who has remarried to continue receiving the French retirement pension of her deceased husband, knowing that the French government allows this for both married and divorced women alike?
The ruling on the grant for a divorced woman depends on the conditions set by the granting authority. If the granting authority stipulates that the divorced woman must not remarry after her husband's death or her divorce, then it is not permissible for her to conceal her marriage in order to receive the grant, because she is not entitled to it. However, if the granting authority does not stipulate this, then it is permissible for her to take it. It is advisable to refer to the granting authority to inquire about the conditions for eligibility for the grant.
