ACTUALIDAD JURISPRUDENCIAL DE LAS DONACIONES PROPTER NUPCIAS.

Abstract

A donation propter nuptias, or donation by reason of marriage, is effective as of the conclusion of the marriage ceremony. Such a donation may be given from one spouse to another (including even under-age spouses, because this sort of settlement is regarded as part of the marriage articles) and may even be given by a third party. Although since Act 15/2005 became law no legal cause need be claimed in petitions for separation, responsibility for the cause of separation or divorce is still a point of importance, because it allows the giver of a donation propter nuptias to revoke his or her gift.
