No, in order to contribute to a Roth IRA, an individual must have earned income. Retirement income, such as pensions or Social Security benefits, does not count as earned income for the purposes of contributing to a Roth IRA. Therefore, if your spouse has retired and is no longer earning income from work, they would not be eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA.
