Summary

Résumé

Jusqu’à présent, la protection des droits patrimoniaux et des intérêts des femmes divorcées en charge du foyer familial a été négligée par le Code civil et la loi de la République populaire de Chine sur la protection des droits et intérêts des femmes. La loi chinoise devrait élargir le champ des biens susceptibles d’être divisés, en reconnaissant que, sous certaines conditions, les diplômes professionnels, les droits à pension et les avantages acquis pendant le mariage sont des biens qu’il est possible de partager au moment du divorce. Elle devrait également préciser que les pensions qu’il est possible de partager ne se limitent pas à l’assurance retraite de base versée sur des comptes individuels, mais incluent également l’assurance retraite fournie par les employeurs. La loi chinoise devrait aussi ajouter un système de pension alimentaire après divorce.

THE PROBLEM

The provisions of the Civil Code and the Law on the Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests still have shortcomings in terms of the scope of division of property, the time limit for exercising the right to request compensation upon divorce and post-divorce support for divorced female family caregivers. These provisions do not adequately take into account the protection of property rights and interests of the family caregiver during and after divorce. Article 47 of the Law on the Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests still limits the protection of property rights and interests of family caregivers on the basis of the premise of a ‘separate property regime’, and Article 1088 of the Civil Code is no longer limited to the property regime adopted during the marriage. However, an analysis of the legal provisions related to family care and judicial cases after the entry into force of the Civil Code shows that the protection of the property rights of divorced female family caregivers is in need of revision.
