Prop­erty Regime Dis­putes In­volving For­eign Ele­ments: Inter-System Dif­fer­ences, Ap­plic­able Law, and Cer­tain Issues En­countered in Prac­tice

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

De­term­in­ing the law ap­plic­able to prop­erty re­gimes with a for­eign ele­ment is dif­fi­cult in prac­tice be­cause legal sys­tems differ in how they struc­ture mat­ri­mo­ni­al prop­erty. Güven Yarar’s art­icle in the Ak­den­iz Uni­vers­ity Fac­ulty of Law Journ­al com­pares the stat­utory prop­erty re­gimes of con­tin­ent­al European law with the equit­able dis­tri­bu­tion ap­proach in common law, and ex­am­ines the law ap­plic­able to such dis­putes under EU Reg­u­la­tion 2016/1103, common law ob­ject­ive con­nect­ing rules and Turk­ish law; it also ad­dresses prac­tic­al issues such as mahr agree­ments, later ac­quis­i­tion of Turk­ish cit­izen­ship and the scope of prop­erty regime agree­ments con­cluded in Türki­ye.
