영문 초록

Korean marriage is adopting a declaration of marriage or civil marriage requiring a certain form prescribed by law. Therefore, even if a husband and wife live together as a couple, if they do not report their marriage properly, they can not be legally recognized as a couple and can not receive various legal rights and protections that are recognized among married couples such as inheritance. A de facto marriage is not a legal marriage registered. But the de facto marriage is different from an engagement, from living with a concubine or an illicit intercourse, Scholars take up the position that the de facto marriage is a quasi marriage. The de facto marriage is similar to a legal marriage registered and is protected legally in case of cancellation of marriage. About matrimonial property achieved for the cooperation of parties during putative marriage, the liquidation of matrimonial property relation is reached because the right of division of matrimonial property has been acknowledged when de facto marriage relation has been annulled in life, according to Civil Act and the Korean Supreme Court. But, the cohabitant could not demand the division of matrimonial property when the other cohabitant had died. This is contrasted with the acknowledgement to the right of division of matrimonial property when legal marriage has been annulled for divorce, and with reaching of the liquidation because the right of inheritance has been acknowledged when it has been annulled for death. Ultimately, the protection for surviving spouse is the matter of whether it’s the acknowledgement of the right of inheritance or the right of division of matrimonial property when de facto marriage is terminated caused by the death of one cohabitant. Both the right of inheritance and the right of division of matrimonial property are possible to be the legislation because of their common ground the function of liquidation. The precedent determines that the if the marriage was terminated while both of the spouses were alive the claim for a partition of the property right could be granted while when the marriage was terminated by the decease of either spouse the living spouse cannot be granted with the claim for a partition of the property right but only with the right for inheritance of the properties of the deceased. In this regard the Supreme Court ruled that when the De Facto marriage was terminated by decease of one of the spouses the right for the partition of the property count not be granted to the living one. Further the precedent also determined that if both of the right of inheritance of the properties of the deceased and the right for the partition of the property were not to be granted it could be against the law s intent of protecting the relationship based on a De Facto marriage. But this is due to our legal system which does not include a spouse in a De Facto marriage as a successor and there was nothing that could be done in terms of the interpretation of the law while the perspective of law making was a separate issue. Therefore it is an imminent issue to be addressed to find a way to provide a balanced protection to such spouses.
