设立我国分居制度的社会基础及其制度构想(上)

On the Social Basis and the Conception of Establishing Seperation System in China

根据我国《婚姻法》"保障离婚自由,防止轻率离婚"的立法指导思想,设立符合我国国情的分居制度,可以为婚姻当事人提供一个离婚的缓冲期间,为双方提供一个冷静思考的机会,使其慎重地处理面临的婚姻家庭纠纷,从而理性地决定是否离婚。这既有利于保护婚姻当事人及其子女的利益,也有利于维护社会的和谐与稳定。

Establishing seperation system on the basis of Chinese reality in accordance with the legislative guideline of ＂safeguarding marriage freedom, preventing casual divorce＂ in our marriage and family law will offer a redemption period during divorce for the parties and provide for an opportunity to reconsider their marriage relationship calmly so that it can help the parties deal with the disputes facing in the marriage and family cautiously, then decide to divorce or not. Hence, establishing such a system is beneficial to the interests of the parties and the children, and the stability and harmonization of the society as well.
