Legal Restraints on Matrimonial Rights

Matrimonial rights,an integral part of modern law,encompass civil rights such as right to marriage,spousal right and right to divorce,which are concerned with the change of personal status and property status. Matrimonial rights secure the interests of spouses and are a focal point of the marriage and family relationship. However,as to individuals and society,exercise of matrimonial rights is subject to certain restraints,i.e. we cannot go too far to exercise these rights to injure the opposite party or to sacrifice public interests. Only by fully understanding and recognizing the restraints on matrimonial rights can we accomplish the very aim of structuring the statutory framework and effectively stimulate its social function.
