Summary/Abstract: The paper explicates the property obligations of the husband and the rights that the wife exercises through marriage, during the marital union and after its termination by divorce or by death of the husband. Special emphasis is placed on the property that the husband and wife acquire together, because it is mainly this property that is the subject of dispute between spouses. The paper elaborates the rights of women in joint property when a woman has her own income, which contributes to the acquisition of marital property, when she has no income of her own but her work directly contributes to the improvement of marital property and situations when a woman has no income of her own, she does not participate directly in acquiring marital property, but she does the housework, takes care of the children and gives her husband the opportunity to dedicate himself to work outside the home.
