Description
Volume five of the series deals with family-related questions of law. The members of the Federal Constitutional Court have compiled 51 landmark decisions from the years 1957-2010 and had them translated into English.
The decisions cover a broad range of subject-matters, including the conclusion of marriage, maintenance law, custody rights, adoption, divorce, and the right to know one’s parentage. They also illustrate the various ways in which the Basic Law’s protection of marriage and the family influences the interpretation in such diverse fields of law as social, fiscal, prison, press, or municipal law.
The President of the Federal Constitutional Court, Professor Dr. Andreas Voßkuhle, introduces the collection of cases in a preface. The book concludes with a translation of the Basic Law into English. Like the previous volumes, volume five contains indices of key words and statutes, as well as an updated list of all Federal Constitutional Court members since 1951.
