While this is grotesque, I actually like it more than in my home country where the death of someone results in a pay-out of <20.000 Euro's.

It is even know there is a table that judges can follow with ranges but the loss of a child could even be <5000 Euro.

While the money won't actually heal your sorrows, the loss of your partner amounting to 5000 Euro's on your bank account feels like putting salt in the wound.
