Abstract

There are two sets of family codes currently applicable in Ethiopia, the Revised Family Code and the family codes of regional states. These sets are compatible on numerous issues of family matters, and are also different on few issues. This comment outlines the major differences between the RFC with that of the SNNP Regional State Family Code. This comment indicates eight areas where the two codes have differences. The RFC has omitted the notion of betrothal whereas the SNNP regional state family law contains detail rules that govern it. Moreover, the RFC is silent regarding marriage celebrated in the cities where the RFC is applicable (i.e. Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa) while the SNNP Regional State Family Code does not apply to marriage celebrated outside the SNNP regional state. There is also variation between the RFC and the SNNP regional state family codes concerning relations in consanguinity and affinity, assessment of compensation following dissolution of marriage, proof of marriage, conditions to claim maintenance as well as salary and pension. Key terms Betrothal; Consanguinity; Affinity; Assessment of compensation; Proof of marriage; Maintenance; Salary and pension

评论：修订后的“联邦”和SNNP地区州族代码之间的主要差异

埃塞俄比亚目前有两套适用的家庭法典，即修订后的家庭法典和地区各州的家庭法典。这些集合在许多家庭事务问题上是兼容的，在少数问题上也是不同的。该评论概述了RFC与SNNP地区州族代码之间的主要差异。此注释指出了两个代码存在差异的八个方面。RFC省略了婚约的概念，而SNNP地区州家庭法包含了管理婚约的详细规则。此外，RFC对在RFC适用的城市（即亚的斯亚贝巴和Dire Dawa）庆祝的婚姻保持沉默，而SNNP-地区州家庭法典不适用于在SNNP地区外庆祝的婚姻。RFC和SNNP地区州家庭法典在血缘关系和姻亲关系、解除婚姻后的赔偿评估、结婚证明、要求赡养费的条件以及工资和养老金方面也存在差异。关键术语Betrothal；血缘关系；亲和性；赔偿评估；结婚证明；维修工资和养老金
