商品描述
The book focuses on the ownership and distribution of marital property upon the dissolution of marriages in Africa. In each of the 16 African countries, the laws on the subject are drawn from different systems of law, whether customary, state law or religious law, and are enmeshed in a complex scheme of legal pluralism. The laws developed by the various internal systems of law have often been unfair, as women seem to have been discriminated against and have little by way of property rights, both in and out of marriages. Scholars researching African family law have conducted individual studies of marital property rights at the state level. Consequently, there is no comparative text that explains how laws in Africa regulate property rights in the context of marriage and divorce. This book seeks to fill this gap by highlighting shared themes such as spousal property classification, legal pluralism, marriage contracts, irregular unions, and human rights, and offering a comparative perspective on fairness and justice in marital property distribution.
The book defines marital property as understood in different legal contexts and evaluates the legal framework governing the rights that spouses have in marital property during the subsistence of the marriage and on divorce. The book also assesses the impact of international and domestic human rights law on each country's legal framework for the ownership and distribution of marital property upon divorce, and offers recommendations for improving these frameworks.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書專注於非洲婚姻解散時婚姻財產的所有權和分配。在16個非洲國家中，相關法律來自不同的法律體系，包括習慣法、國家法或宗教法，並交織在一個複雜的法律多元主義體系中。各種內部法律體系所發展的法律往往不公平，因為女性似乎受到歧視，無論在婚姻內外都幾乎沒有財產權。研究非洲家庭法的學者在國家層面上對婚姻財產權進行了個別研究。因此，並沒有比較性的文本來解釋非洲的法律如何在婚姻和離婚的背景下調節財產權。本書旨在填補這一空白，強調共同主題，如配偶財產分類、法律多元主義、婚姻契約、不規範聯盟和人權，並提供關於婚姻財產分配的公平性和正義的比較視角。
本書定義了在不同法律背景下理解的婚姻財產，並評估了在婚姻存續期間及離婚時配偶在婚姻財產中擁有的權利的法律框架。本書還評估了國際和國內人權法對每個國家在離婚時婚姻財產的所有權和分配法律框架的影響，並提供改善這些框架的建議。
