Mettre fin au « devoir conjugal »

This French bill aims to abolish the legal concept of 'marital duty' (devoir conjugal) from civil law. This duty historically implied an obligation of fidelity and assistance between spouses, but its interpretation has evolved and is seen by some as outdated and potentially infringing on personal autonomy. The proposed change would affect all married couples in France, clarifying the legal relationship between spouses and removing a potentially ambiguous and debated obligation from the Civil Code.
