Hungarian Marriage And Divorce Laws
: Japanese Fairy TalesIn Hungary proper and Transylvania, together with Fiume and certain parts
of the Military Boundary, the marriage law of 1894, supplemented by the
Civil Registration Act of the same year, is in operation for all citizens,
without regard to religious sect.
In Croatia and Slavonia, which, although legally parts of the Kingdom of
Hungary, are autonomous in domestic affairs; three separate systems of
marriage
the Oriental Greeks, and the Protestants and Jews.
HUNGARY PROPER AND TRANSYLVANIA.--Civil marriage is the only form
recognized by law.
MARRIAGE QUALIFICATIONS.--A man cannot marry before the conclusion of his
eighteenth year; a woman, before the conclusion of her sixteenth year. A
minor cannot conclude a marriage without the consent of his or her legal
representative.
IMPEDIMENTS.--1. Marriage is forbidden between ascendants and descendants.
2. Between brother and sister.
3. Between brother or sister and offspring of brother or sister.
4. Marriage between a person who has been previously married and a blood
relative in direct line of that person's former consort is forbidden.
5. First cousins may not conclude marriage, except on dispensation from
the Minister of Justice.
6. No person may conclude a marriage with any one who has been legally
sentenced for a murder or a murderous assault committed on the former's
consort, even if the sentence has not yet entered into effect.
7. No one may conclude a marriage without the consent of his
ecclesiastical superiors if he has taken ecclesiastical orders or vows
which, according to the law of the church to which he belongs, prevent his
marrying.
8. So long as the guardianship continues, marriage is prohibited between a
guardian or his offspring and the ward.
PRELIMINARIES.--Before a marriage can be lawfully celebrated it must be
preceded by the publication of banns. This publication must be made in the
commune or communes where the parties ordinarily reside. Publication is
made by posting an official notice for fourteen days in the office of the
registrar and in a public place in the communal building.
CELEBRATIONS.--Marriage is, as a rule, to be solemnized before the
registrar of the district in which at least one of the parties has his or
her residence or domicile. At the celebration of marriage the parties are
obliged to appear together before the officiating magistrate, and in the
presence of two competent witnesses declare that they conclude a marriage
with each other. After such declaration the magistrate declares the couple
to be legally married.
The registrar is required by law to enter a record of the marriage on his
official register and to give a formal marriage certificate to the
parties.
FOREIGN MARRIAGES.--In general, for a marriage contracted by a Hungarian
citizen in a foreign country to be recognized as valid in Hungary, the
parties to the marriage must satisfy the requirements of their respective
States as to age and legal capacity and must be free from all other
impediments contained in the law of either State. The Hungarian citizen
must comply with the regulations of the Hungarian law regarding
publication.
Besides this, the foreign marriage must be concluded in accordance with
all the requirements of the country where it was celebrated.
ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN.--If at the time such children were born the parents
could legally have married each other then the subsequent marriage of the
parents makes legitimate the children.
ANNULMENT OF MARRIAGE.--Marriages may be annulled because of the violation
of the various provisions of law regarding marriage impediments or the
formalities necessary to conclude marriage.
DIVORCE AND SEPARATION.--Marriage can be legally dissolved only by a
judicial decree on certain grounds specified by law. These grounds are of
two classes--absolute and relative.
The following causes constitute absolute grounds for divorce:
1. Adultery.
2. Crime against nature.
3. Bigamy.
4. Wilful abandonment without just cause.
5. Attempt upon the life or wilful and serious maltreatment such as to
endanger bodily safety or health.
6. Sentence to death or to at least five years in prison or the
penitentiary.
For all of the above causes the court must grant an absolute divorce if
the allegations are proven.
Divorce may also be granted on the following "relative grounds" if the
court, after careful consideration of the individuality and
characteristics of the parties, is satisfied that the facts warrant the
desired relief:
1. Serious violation of marital duties.
2. Inducing, or attempting to induce, a child belonging to the family to
commission of a criminal act or to an immoral manner of life.
3. Persistent immoral conduct.
4. Sentence to prison or the penitentiary for less than five years, or to
jail for an offence involving dishonesty.
JUDICIAL SEPARATION.--An action for separation from bed and board can be
maintained on any of the grounds enumerated for divorce.
EFFECTS OF DIVORCE OR SEPARATION.--After a divorce the guilty party is
required to restore to the innocent party all gifts made by the latter
before or during the marriage. The man who is declared guilty is obliged
to maintain the innocent woman in a position in keeping with his estate
and social position, in so far as her income is insufficient. Alimony is
payable as a rule in advance monthly instalments. The right to alimony
continues after the man's death, but on the application of his heirs it
may be reduced to the amount of the net income of the estate. The right to
alimony ceases if the woman marries again.
Up to their seventh year minor children are entrusted to the care of the
mother; after that time, to the innocent party. If both parties are guilty
the father receives the custody of the boys and the mother that of the
girls.
The effects of separation are the same as those of divorce in reference to
property, alimony and custody of children.
FOREIGN DECREES.--In matrimonial causes where one or both of the parties
is a Hungarian citizen the courts of Hungary do not recognize any foreign
judgment or judicial decree.
