The Korean Civil Code is very similar to the Japanese civil law, and the number of articles is significantly smaller and lacks specificity compared to the civil laws of many Western countries. In the case of the divorce law, the deficiencies of such legislation are being supplemented by the interpretation of the courts. Divorce laws in the West, such as Germany, England, France, and the United States, have been revised in the direction of protecting the rights and interests of the parties through numerous historical changes and discussions since the 19th century. Based on the history of changes in various Western countries, Korea will also need to revise the civil law in the direction of fulfilling the state's constitutional duty to protect marriage and family life. Through counseling before marriage and divorce, the marriage and family system should be strengthened, and counseling and other educational programs should be activated so that a recoverable family can be saved. In order to minimize conflicts in a marriage relationship that has already been irretrievably broken and exists only legally, no fault divorce based on separation for a certain period of time should be introduced. And in order to protect innocent spouses and children who do not want to divorce, marriage should be terminated only if protective measures or agreements for innocent spouses and children are included in the divorce ruling, and divorce should not be allowed if the divorce threatens to cause economic, social and psychological difficulties for them. In addition, if legal separation system where the obligation to cohabit is exempted and a marriage is deemed to have broken down after a certain period of separation is established, I think it can serve as a buffer zone to encourage reunion after separation and also as a gateway from marriage to divorce. The legal separation system can alleviate the impact of divorce, and has an economic effect almost similar to divorce, except that the marriage relationship is legally maintained, so the parties can attempt reconciliation while stably separating for a certain period of time. I think it is desirable to unify the divorce procedure by incorporating the divorce by agreement system into the judicial divorce procedure to ensure that the rights and interests of the divorced parties are fully protected. As with the divorce laws of many countries that adopt no fault divorce, even if there is mutual consent to divorce, divorce must be conducted through a trial and should be granted only after court approval of an agreement regarding children and the financial effects of the divorce. Additionally, if a couple with minor children wants to divorce by agreement, counseling should be mandatory.

Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sind wie folgt zusammen- gefasst. 1. Bei der Beendigung der elterlichen Sorge, sind die Eltern verpflichtet, dem Kind das zum Zeitpunkt der Beendigung existierende und identifizierbare Kindesvermögen zurückzugeben. In diesem Fall handelt es sich beim Herausgabeanspruch des Kindesvermögens (=Herausgabeanspruch von Ist-Masse) nicht um ein höchstpersönliches Recht. 2. Bei der Beendigung der elterlichen Sorge, haben die Eltern über die Verwaltung des Kindesvermögens Rechenschaft abzulegen. Sollte das Kind jedoch keine Abrechnung wünschen, ist es den Eltern nicht geboten, Rechenschaft abzulegen. In solchen Fällen steht es dem Gläubiger des Kindes nicht zu, gegen den Willen des Kindes eine Abrechnung über die Verwaltung des Kindesvermögen von den Eltern zu verlangen. Anders ausgedrückt handelt es sich beim Recht des Kindes, eine Abrechnung zu verlangen, um ein höchstpersönliches Recht. 3. Es handelt sich auch beim Ausgleichsanspruch des Kindes (=Herausgabeanspruch von Soll-Masse), der durch Berechnung ermittelt werden kann, um ein höchstpersönliches Recht. Dies ergibt sich daraus, dass wenn ein Kind eine Abrechnung wünscht, aber den sich aus der Berechnung ergebenden Ausgleichsanspruch nicht ausüben möchte, auch der Wille des Kindes respektiert werden muss, um den Familienfrieden zu wahren. 4. Zum Unterhalt eines minderjährigen Kindes, können die Eltern mit der elterlichen Sorge nur die Einkünfte des Kindesvermögens verwenden. Eine Anzehrung des Kindesvermögens ist generell nicht gestattet. ① Falls die Eltern durch Anzehrung des Kindesvermögens von ihren Unterhalt- spflichten gegenüber ihrem minderjährigen Kind ungerechtfertigt befreit waren, oder ② wenn die Eltern das Kindesvermögen über den Umfang ihrer Unterhaltspflichten hinaus zum Wohl des Kindes verwendet haben und eine derartige Verwendung als übermäßig oder unangemessen betrachtet wird, müssen die Eltern diesen Betrag an ihr Kind ausgleichen, sofern das Kind eine Abrechnung und Ausgleich wünscht. 5. Wenn Lebensversicherungsgelder unrechtmäßig an minderjährige Kinder ausgezahlt wurden und ausgehend von solchen Geldern als Kindesvermögen ① die Eltern mit der elterlichen Sorge letztendlich eine unentgeltliche Bereicherung erhielten oder ② die bösglaubige Eltern eine entgeltliche Bereicherung aufgrund rechtlicher Titel erhielten, sollte der Versicherer mithilfe der actio de in rem verso, direkt einen Bereicherungsanspruch von den Eltern verlangen können. 6. Wenn Lebensversicherungsgelder unrechtmäßig an minderjährige Kinder ausgezahlt wurden und solche Gelder von Eltern mit elterlicher Sorge für den eigenen Gebrauch verwendet wurden, steht dem minderjährigen Kind die Einrede des Wegfalls der Bereicherung gegenüber dem Versicherer zu.

The birth registration system in Korea has gone through important changes in the past few months. The Act on Registration of Family Relations was amended in June, 2023. Under the new registration law, a child’s birth can be registered by the head of local government. The Act on Confidential Birth was legislated in October, 2023. Under the new law, a pregnant woman can give birth without giving her name to the hospital or civil registry. However, the new registration law does not apply to immigrant children, as the scope of law is limited to the civil registration of Korean nationals. Moreover, immigrant parents might not be able to benefit from the new system due to their fear of deportation. This paper studies legal system of other countries regulating nationality (or citizenship), birth registration, and immigration, in order to design a new registration law which guarantees every child’s birth registration. The countries where children acquire nationality based on his/her parents’ nationality allow birth registration of children of foreign parents. Japan, even though its nationality law and immigration law are as conservative as Korea’s, allows immigrant children’s birth registration. I suggest the Act on Registration of Family Relations be amended so as to allow immigrant children’s birth registration, and the enforcement decree of the Immigration Act also be amended so that the information on foreign parents will not be transferred to the immigration office.","PeriodicalId":315796,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society Of Family Law","volume":"72 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139199683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the United Kingdom does not recognize the division of non-matrimonial property, but in exceptional cases, non-matrimonial property may be considered as marital property and divided, but the division is based on equity, not equal division. Thus, sharing and needs principles are considered together. Our jurisprudence generally does not consider non-matrimonial property to be subject to division, but recognizes it in special circumstances. In other words, our jurisprudence holds that special property is subject to division even if it belongs to one of the spouses, if the other party has actively cooperated in its maintenance, prevented its deterioration or contributed to its increase. While this may be a good choice for the specific justification of protecting the other spouse, it goes beyond the function of property division, and clearly our civil law is based on a separate property system, and the easy inclusion of personal property as property subject to division would undermine the separate property system. Put it in a nutshell, only in cases where the contribution to the formation of wealth is effectively wiped out, which can be assessed as significantly contrary to socially accepted equity, should non-matrimonial property be considered for division.","PeriodicalId":315796,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society Of Family Law","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139202299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Russia by the European Court of Human Rights on the Same-Sex Partnership","authors":"Jinsu Yune","doi":"10.31998/ksfl.2023.37.3.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31998/ksfl.2023.37.3.1","url":null,"abstract":"On January 17, 2023, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights ruled in Fedotova v. Russia that Russia’s failure to provide legal recognition to parties in same-sex unions violated Article 8 (Right to respect for private and family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights. This article aims to introduce the above judgment. In 2015, the decision of Oliari v. Italy by the European Court of Human Rights opined that Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights (Right to marry) did not guarantee the right to marry for same-sex couples. However, it declared that Italy bore the positive obligation to provide the legal institution for the protection of the same-sex couple based on the Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (Right to respect for private and family life). The Fedotova decision reached the same result against Russia. While the Oliari judgment was based on internal Italian circumstances, the Fedotova decision is significant because it applies not only to Italy and Russia, but to all countries that are party to the European Convention on Human Rights. The Fedotova decision was based on the positive obligation of the state to respect the Convention Right. Whether such a positive obligation can be recognized in Korea requires further discussion.","PeriodicalId":315796,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society Of Family Law","volume":"81 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139205839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to this question, the Ministry of Justice of Korea submitted a civil law amendment bill to the National Assembly that introduces a system of disinheritance. This article introduces and reviews such civil law amendments. The main conclusions are as follows: First, in terms of legal stability, it is not appropriate to include violation of duty to support as a reason for disqualification from inheritance. It is also not appropriate for inheritance disqualification to be treated as a preliminary issue in civil litigation. However, termination of parental rights can be recognized as a reason for disqualification from inheritance. Second, when depriving an heir of his inheritance rights, it is desirable to have it go through a court trial. If it is allowed to unilaterally deprive the heir of the inheritance right by the will of the heir, there is a risk that the decedent will arbitrarily deprive the heir of the inheritance right. Third, If the deceased did not express his/her intention to deprive the heir of his/her inheritance rights during his/her lifetime, such heir should not be deprived of the right to inheritance even if the reasons for loss of the right to inheritance are met. If the level of disqualification from inheritance has not been reached, the will of the deceased is necessary to justify the result of Disinheritance.","PeriodicalId":315796,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society Of Family Law","volume":"437 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139204445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For these cases, the Civil Code stipulates how to deal with inherited property without an heir. According to this, if there is no heir, a person to manage the inherited property is appointed to manage the property and distribute the property to inheritance creditors or requestees or find an heir. If an heir is not found, the property is distributed to a specially connected person. And if any property remains after going through the above procedures, it is returned to the state. However, the above procedure takes a lot of time and money, and the court must decide who will be responsible for this. But, in the case of unrelated people with little inherited property, it is cumbersome to go through civil law procedures, so the Social Welfare Services Act provides for a simple method to handle inherited property. According to this regulation, when an unrelated person dies leaving behind assets worth less than 5 million won, the head of the detention facility prepares a list of the assets, holds a funeral, and then reverts the remaining assets to the local government. This procedure has the advantage of being able to easily organize inherited property relationships of unrelated people, but it is problematic in that it may be difficult for the head of the facility to take charge of this task. In the case of death while confined in a facility, the head of the facility can proceed with funeral and property management procedures, but in other cases, public officials in charge of the local government have no choice but to perform the duties. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it will be necessary to establish an organization at the national level that can take charge of funeral and property management procedures for unrelated people and have that organization handle the remaining assets of unrelated people.","PeriodicalId":315796,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Society Of Family Law","volume":"24 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139197327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
