Features: This book is based on the New Marriage Law and relevant interpretations, as well as the Adoption Law, systematically elaborating on the historical development, basic principles, formation of marriage, general effects of marriage, termination of marriage, parent-child relationships, adoption, guardianship, and inheritance in China's marriage, family, and inheritance law. The purpose of this book has always been to provide fundamental concepts, basic knowledge, and essential theories in the field of marriage, family, and inheritance law for law students, legal professionals, and others who are eager to learn and understand these laws. There are currently dozens of versions of textbooks on marriage, family, and inheritance law in China. The features of this book are: first, it combines both marriage, family, and inheritance law; second, while introducing and explaining views based on "common consensus," it also pays attention to analyzing existing controversies on the same issues; third, it incorporates and reflects the latest legislation, judicial practices, and research findings in this field, and makes certain innovative attempts in some chapters, such as advocating the principle of opposing domestic violence. Internationally, foreign marriage and family laws have developed rapidly and undergone significant changes in the recent two decades. However, considering its nature as a Chinese law textbook, this book does not extensively cover related foreign law topics.
