Section 35B provides an entitlement to maternity allowance for women who work with a spouse or civil partner who is engaged in self-employment. This implements Article 8 of Directive 2010/41/EU on the application of the principal of equal treatment between men and women engaged in an activity in a self-employed capacity (OJ No. L 180, 15.7.2010, p. 1) in respect of the women referred to in Article 2(b) of the Directive. Section 35 (state maternity allowance) of the 1992 Act provides for the payment of maternity allowance to women who are employed or self-employed earners.",
