There had been a legal challenge against the new domestic violence legislation in case it broke the principle of equality in the Spanish Constitution.
The Constitutional Court has backed the idea of harsher prison sentences in domestic violence cases where the aggressor is a man.
The difference in punishment according to sex is part of the new domestic violence law from the Government and the court has now considered the legislation to be constitutional by seven votes to five.
The vote on article 153.1 of the Penal Code came after a challenge to the legislation placed by Penal Court 4 in Murcia, which thought it could go against the principle of equality in article 14 of the Spanish Constitution.
