Homosexual Marital Property Law? (Homohuwelijksvermogensrecht?) (Dutch)Alain-Laurent VerbekeUniversity of Leuven, Faculty of Law, Department of Private Law; Harvard Law School; University of Leuven, Faculty of Psychology; Tilburg Law School Department of Private Law and TISCO; Catholic University of Portugal (UCP) - Católica Global School of Law; University of Brussels (VUB/ULB) ; Greenille (Attorneys, Notaries and Tax Advisors; Brussels, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rotterdam) July 30, 2005 LIBER AMICORUM PROF. PAUL DELNOY, pp. 513-531, De Boeck & Larcier, 2005 Abstract: In this article, the question is raised why upon the introduction of same sex marriage no one has raised the issue whether one should take for granted the automatic application of the legal marital property law that was made for heterosexual couples. The argument goes that in the heat of the emancipation fight, there is no room for subtleties of this nature. However, after obtaining the equal position in marriage, one should take up the issue whether the typical mainstream legal regime, in continental systems a community of gains, is a misfit for homosexual couples. Would a separation of property with a participation right at the end of the marriage be more suitable?
