Type: article
Abstract: Objective: The relevance of the research topic is stipulated by the need to review and update the legal regulation of family rights and obligations in the context of modern social and legal challenges. Theoretical Framework: The issues of gender equality, protection of children’s rights and regulation of international marriages require special attention and modernisation of existing legal provisions. The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical, legal, and practical aspects of family rights and obligations of spouses. Method: The research methodology is based on the analysis of current legislation, comparative legal and historical legal methods, and sociological data. Results and Discussion: We have identified fundamental problems and contradictions in the legal regulation of family rights and responsibilities, such as gender imbalance, difficulties in regulating international marriages and insufficient measures to protect children’s rights and prevent domestic violence. Research Implications: Recommendations are made to introduce gender-neutral legislation, unified standards for international marriages, and strengthening measures to protect children’s rights. The author also emphasises the need for legal regulation of new forms of family relations, such as civil partnerships and same-sex marriages. Originality/Value: The results obtained have practical significance in developing recommendations for improving the legislative framework. This will contribute to improving the efficiency of legal regulation of family rights and obligations, protecting the interests of all family members, and strengthening the family institution in general.
