Abstracts

In this article, we present the history of divorce law in the Kingdom of Hungary. The reader is briefly informed about the Hungarian divorce law since the 11th century; however, attention is drawn primarily to Law XXXI/1894. This law, also known as the Marriage Act, was adopted for the Hungarian territory within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, where it allowed dissolubility of Hungarian marriages. We describe the historical background of the adoption of the Marriage Act and the reaction of the Catholic Church to it. Next, there is an analysis of all divorce grounds according to the Marriage Act. A special attention is paid to Section 77, which softened the strictness of divorce law. Finally, an interesting effect of the Marriage Act beyond the borders of Hungary is demonstrated.
