Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book lays out the 1889 Civil Code that establishes rules and guidelines for marriage and family life, inheritance and property ownership in former Spanish colonies like Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. The code, which was drafted in 1888, draws on laws and legal principles in place at that time and was expanded to include these territories 20 days after its original publication. The code delves into the legal aspects of marriage, legitimizing canonical and civil ceremonies while addressing issues such as parental consent, prohibited unions, and the rights and obligations of spouses. It also provides a framework for inheritance, establishing rules for the distribution of property, succession, and the rights of illegitimate children. Moreover, the code outlines legal guardianship for minors and incapacitated individuals, ensuring their protection and well-being. The provisions of this code have shaped the legal framework of family and property matters in these former colonies, providing a foundation for civil rights and responsibilities.
