Answer

Can someone in Spain legally give a baby to another couple for money?

No. A transfer of a child in exchange for payment is illegal and can lead to criminal charges. Cases like the one investigated in Málaga may involve alleged document falsification and unlawful transfer of a minor. Any legal change in a child’s care or family status must follow official procedures, not private agreements.
