| Description | The concept of marriage as a legal institution differs considerably in particular legal systems. Although marital status is a legal ground for enjoying a number of rights stemming from the European Union law, a common definition of “marriage” does not exist. The aim of this contribution is to consider the difficulties, which may arise with regard to characterisation of the notion of marriage in the context of the European private international law instruments, especially the newly adopted EU regulations concerning property regimes of international couples. |
