Translation
Do spouses violate marital and family law by not wearing wedding rings? Is the land that the wife acquires after marriage considered joint property of the spouses?Yes, my spouse and I have been married for 2 months, and we would like to inquire about the two issues mentioned above. We look forward to receiving your clarification.Are spouses violating marriage and family law by not wearing wedding rings?
Article 19 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 provides regulations regarding the affection between husband and wife as follows:
Spouses have the duty to love, be faithful, respect, care for, provide support, and assist each other; jointly share and perform household tasks.
Spouses are obligated to live together unless otherwise agreed upon or required by occupations, work, study, participation in political, economic, cultural, social activities, or other legitimate reasons.
Current laws do not contain any provisions regarding penalties or violations for the act of not wearing wedding rings after marriage. Furthermore, wedding rings are not a legal basis to prove the spousal relationship. Therefore, the law does not prescribe any sanctions regarding whether or not to wear wedding rings.
Is the land acquired by the wife after marriage common property of the spouses?
Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 33 of the above document on the establishment of common property:
- Common property of spouses includes property created by either spouse, incomes derived from labor, production, business activities, the yields and profits generated from separate property, and other lawful income during the marriage period, except as specified in Clause 1, Article 40 of this Law; property jointly inherited or given as a gift to both spouses, and other property that the spouses agree to be common property.
The land use rights acquired by either spouse after marriage are considered common property, except in the case where the land is inherited separately, given separately, or obtained through transactions using separate property.
Therefore, the principle is that land acquired by either spouse after marriage is common property of the spouses, except when the land was inherited separately, given separately, or obtained through transactions using separate property. You should base on these conditions to determine your specific case.
Sincerely!
