“同妻”问题的《民法典》解决之道——兼论《民法典》的婚姻效力体系

Solutions Provided by Civil Code to Homo-wife Problems

长期以来,由于法律规定不适用和离婚举证困难等原因,“同妻”问题没有得到很好的解决。但随着《民法典》时代的开启,这一状况将得到改观。性取向与“重大疾病”一样,对婚姻家庭生活影响巨大,配偶应享有知情权。隐瞒性取向结婚的行为构成欺诈,并会严重损害配偶的权益,与《民法典》婚姻家庭编的价值取向相背离,不具有受法律保护的正当性基础。由于《民法典》对可撤销婚姻的规定并不是完全封闭的,相关司法解释也没有禁止当事人以所列之外的理由主张撤销婚姻,故配偶可根据《民法典》总则编第148条之规定要求撤销婚姻,并就造成的损害要求对方予以赔偿。

The problem of Homo-wife has not been properly solved due to inapplicability of legal provisions and the difficulty in adducing evidence for decades.However,this situation will be improved with the opening of the era of Civil Code.Sexual orientation has a great influence on marriage and domesticity,and spouses should have the right to learn the truth.Concealing sexual orientation in marriage constitutes fraudulent marriage.As these marriages seriously injure the rights and interests of the spouses,which is also contrary to the value orientation of Marriage Law,and should not be treated as effective marriage.Civil Code and the Judicial Interpretation allow spouses to claim these marriages being voidable and withdraw them in accordance with the 148nd item of Civil Code.This solution is not only in line with the application path and internal logic of the Civil Code,but also meet the needs in judicial proceedings.
