LEGAL REGULATION OF MARRIAGE DISSOLUTION IN LITHUANIA AND HUNGARY

Abstract

Under Article 3.49 of Lithuanian civil code there are two cases of dissolution of marriage. Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the final termination of a marriage, cancelling the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and dissolving the bonds of matrimony between two persons. The regulation of marriage and divorce had been set in separated Acts for a long time. Since 15th of March 2014 these questions are regulated in the new Hungarian Civil Code. Recognition of a foreign divorce depends on the law of the state in which such recognition is sought.
