Spouses' Obligations in the Afghan Legal System

Abstract

The family is the most fundamental social institution of human society, whose vitality, dynamism, and health guarantee the secure continuity of human generations. Although human relationships within this institution are organized based on the laws and standards of innate morality, and its continued existence deeply depends on ethical principles, human behavior sometimes does not observe moral norms, necessitating legal rules and regulations. Accordingly, relationships within the family institution require legal rules to organize internal family conduct. For this reason, the present research attempts to discuss the obligations of the family from the perspective of the Afghan legal system.
