yes the industrial revolution was a bad mistake Tripchik, but i shall not go into that. I think everyone has forgoten the reason for this thread, couldn't anyone give me a reply on women's rights and divorce?


I would like to find myself a russian wife to help me settle in the country. What I want to know is:

* what sort of rights do women have in russia?

* what happens if the marriage does not turn out the way I would like it to: is divorce easy and does she get to keep half of my capital?

I already answered that question. Here's a longer version:

The current sources of divorce law in the Russian Federation are
Chapter 4 of the Russian Family Code (1995) entitled ‘Termination of
marriage’ and the Directive of the Supreme Court of the Russian
Federation ‘On the Application of the Divorce Legislation the Courts
When Deciding Divorce Cases’

As to the division of matrimonial property

The legal regime of matrimonial property in Russia is one of limited
community of property.
According to Article 256 (2) of the Civil Code and Articles 33 -34 of the
Family Code, property acquired by the spouses during marriage is
considered to be a common asset. Property that does not fall within
community property consists of pre-marital property, property
acquired during marriage by donation, inheritance, or other cost-free
transactions, and items of individual use (except jewellery and other
luxuries).
The Family Code allows spouses to create a contractual regime of
marital property by concluding a pre-nuptial or ante-nuptial contract.
In this way the spouses can create, with a few limitations, any
matrimonial property regime they so wish.
The assets constituting community property according to the law
which regulates matrimonial property, or according to the pre- or
ante-nuptial contract, in the case of the contractual regime thereof, can
be divided by agreement upon divorce (Article 38 ¤ 2 Russian Family
Code). In the case of division by agreement, the spouses can divide the
property as they have agreed upon. The judge has no discretion to
reject such an agreement, even if he or she considers it to be unfair.
