This book examines how the common regime is built compared to the German and French law and how to handle those problems not regulated by the common rules. The main subjects are the regime’s foundation and its effects during marriage according to art. 1–7, 19–20. The explanations concentrate on the treaty’s termination, its application and the conditions for establishing and ending the matrimonial regime. Furthermore, the effects on the spouses’ property during marriage, namely the restriction on disposal and joint liability, are discussed.
