民法

This provision explains how to calculate the degree of kinship for blood relatives.

This provision defines “姻親” as a blood relative’s spouse, a spouse’s blood relative, and a spouse’s blood relative’s spouse.

If the declarant is not at fault and does not know the other party’s name or domicile, they may use public notice service to notify an expression of intent.

This provision gives rules for calculating the kinship line and degree of certain in-law relationships.

姻親關係會因離婚而消滅；婚姻經撤銷時也同樣消滅。

婚約應由男女當事人自行訂定。

未滿十七歲的男女不得訂定婚約。

未成年人訂定婚約時，必須先取得法定代理人同意。

婚約不得請求強迫履行。

A betrothed person may cancel the engagement if the other party has one of the listed grounds.

婚約解除時，無過失的一方可以向有過失的一方請求賠償；即使是非財產上的損害，也可以請求相當金額。

If one party to an engagement breaches it without a reason under Article 976, that party must compensate the other party’s resulting damages.

受害人得在非財產上損害的情形下，請求相當金額的賠償，但以受害人無過失為限；該請求權原則上不得讓與或繼承，除非已依契約承諾或已起訴。

For gifts made because of an engagement, if the engagement is invalid, dissolved, or revoked, one party may ask the other to return the gift.

第977條至第979條之一的請求權，如果兩年內不行使，就會消滅。

Interpret expressions of intent by seeking the parties’ true intention, and do not rely only on the words used.
