According to a report in The Telegraph, the woman claimed she missed out on her youth because her parents made her work on the family's dairy farm.
After years of working for free, Eirian was told she would inherit the farm. However when her parents tried to evict her after a family row broke out, she started legal proceedings to gain her share of the farm. She went on to win the case against her parent Tegwyn (75) and Mary (76) in the High Court in Cardiff last week.
Eirian told the court she couldn't attend Young Farmers' Club dances with her two sisters, Enfys and Eleri, because she had to stay at home. She also claimed that her parents didn't pay her until she reached the age of 21.

Over the years, her parents became increasingly annoyed by their daughter's relationships with men and concerned about the prospect of children.
A will drafted in 2009 left the majority of the farm to Eirian, but then her parents proposed to place the farm in trust for all three sisters.
Relations soured further in August 2012 after a fight which saw milk thrown over Eirian by her mother and a physical altercation with her father.
It was ruled that the farm was worth about £3.8m (€5.2m) and Eirian was entitled to £1.3m (€1.78m) to start a farm of her own.
