On The Marital Property System Is Inadequate And Perfect

Matrimonial property system has been an important system in family law. It not only materially protects the regular family life, but also has an influence upon the third party's interest and various transactions. Therefore, every country has attached great importance to the legislation regarding matrimonial property system. After the establishment of PRC, several marriage laws have been enacted and they are 1950 Marriage Law,1980 Marriage Law and 2001 newly revised Marriage Law. Through the above-mentioned legislations, the substance and system regarding matrimonial property system are gradually complete. Although, compared with two marriage laws, great improvements have been made in the third marriage law. However, there are some defects in the current legislation. Firstly, the incomplete structure of matrimonial property system. There is no general provisions on matrimonial property issues and irregular property system. Secondly, there are some defects in the legal matrimonial property provisions, such as no provisions on common property rights and agency of family affairs. Thirdly, there are some defects in the contract matrimonial property system. There are some loopholes on contract property issues and no provisions on the time, change and termination about the contract property issues. In the judicial practice, due to the current incomplete prescriptions of matrimonial property system, the judges may face some new issues and situations. These difficulties include the attribution of post-marital interest of one party's pre-marital property, the attribution of unattained interest of one party's intellectual property rights one party's donation of common property to his or her extra-marital cohabitant and the nature of one party's debt during marriage. Regarding the resolution of above-mentioned problems, the judges may feel difficult to deal with and the law experts also have different views in this regard.
