Resumen

Pursuant to the Articles 7 and 8 of the Constitution of State of Cambodia (SOC), the purpose of the Law on Marriage and Family is to regulate and protect the marriage and family, to ensure equality of the spouses in marriage and family, to strengthen the responsibility of the parents in raising up and taking care of their children, and to promote the moral and educational development of children to become good citizen imbued with a sense of responsibility for the nation and society, and the love of work. A man and woman reaching legal age have the right to self-determine the marriage. One party may not force another party to marriage against his/her will. No one can be forced to marry or prevented from having marriage as long as such marriage is in compliance with standards provided by this law. A marriage may be allowed for a man whose age is 20 years or more and a woman whose age is 18 years or more. A husband and wife have equal rights to use, obtain interests, and manage the joint properties. In a case of divorce, properties shall be divided in accordance with the mutual agreement of both parties. If there is no agreement, each spouse takes only his or her own properties which they had prior to marriage and any properties which they have received by inheritance, gift or devise during the marriage.
