Features: The cases in this series are carefully selected from thousands of cases heard by various courts in recent years. They are not only fresh in content but also typical, fully reflecting the development of Chinese society. The content of the series is helpful for law students to learn law, and also beneficial for general readers to understand legal knowledge and the handling of legal issues by courts. It is highly meaningful to conduct academic discussions and research on marriage and family law issues based on real-life judicial practices. The authors of this book have made a valuable attempt in this regard. All manuscripts of the book have been revised by the chief editor; the chief editor has made significant additions and deletions to some of the original authors' writings and appropriately adjusted certain individual viewpoints of the original authors in some case studies. Regarding the format and expression during the writing process of this book, the following explanations are provided:
Regarding the expression of legal document names, to distinguish between the two different legal texts before and after the amendment of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China in 1980, the original text is expressed as "Article X of the Marriage Law of 1980", and the amendment is expressed as "the Amendment to the Marriage Law (2001), Article X". Considering that this book is a systematic collection of case studies, when referring to various interpretations or documents of the Supreme People's Court on the application of the Marriage Law, the full name of the document is generally used as a principle, rather than a shortened version, to facilitate readers' reading and understanding. Regarding the content arrangement, some cases discuss multiple issues, but for the convenience of format arrangement, only one of the main issues reflected or discussed is selected as the corresponding title and arranged in the relevant chapter.
