This volume contains articles on three areas of family law that, at
the dawn of the 21st century, have provoked passionate discussion.
The topics of concern include: (compulsory) arrangements regarding
children, registration schemes for same-sex couples (new
jurisdictions), and the effectiveness of the pater est rule. The
book's contributions are preceded by two introductory articles. The
historical introduction addresses the 'cultural constraints
argument' which, according to a few legal scholars, prevents both
spontaneous and deliberate harmonization of family law. Is family
law indeed embedded in unique national (legal) culture? What
lessons can be learned from the past? The methodological
introduction proffers some general ideas as to how comparative
family law is perceived and what it should entail whereby a
comparison is made between more recent developments in Europe and
the United States.
