A NOTE TO HELP FUTURE SPOUSESIN CHOOSING A MATRIMONIAL SYSTEMIn accordance with section 59 of the Civil Status Amendment Act No. 30 of 1979, this note has been
prepared mainly to inform future spouses about the several matrimonial systems (hey may opt for prior to
their marriage. This information, which is being made available to them by Government, deals only with the main features and the general aspects of the different matrimonial systems being proposed. In no case, should this note be considered as a complete and full description of the legal provisions in force. Future spouses should therefore, .if they wish to have further details, consult a legal adviser.Various matrimonial systems proposed :-
The future spouses may before their marriage, choose among three matrimonial systems which are
1. The legal system of community of goods.
2. The legal system of separations of property.
3. A marriage settlement embodied in a notarial deed in accordance with the common wish of the future spouses.


1. The legal system of community of goods

The Civil Code provides for a system of legal community of goods-this means that if the future spouses do not opt for a specific matrimonial system, if they marry without stating by what matrimonial system they wish to be governed, they are deemed to have chosen the system of legal community of goods.
The legal community of goods as provided by the Civil Code is a community reduced to " acquisitions" characterized by the following features :-
(a) The main one, as regards the ownership of property between {he spouses, is the existence of a mass of property which is common to both of them and which differs from the property belonging personally to either of them.
The common property belongs in a state of in division (in co-ownership) to both spouses during the marriages. In the event of a divorce or a judicial separation the common property is shared equally between the spouses. If the marriage is dissolved by the death of one of the spouses or of both spouses me common- property is divided between the surviving spouse and the heirs of the deceased spouse or between the respective heirs of both spouses as the case may be.
The mass of the common property consists of " acquisitions II that is the whole of the property either movable or immovable acquired as from the dale of the marriage by either of the spouses and which the law does not expressly considers as personal property. (It consists mainly of property purchased with money derived from the incomes or salaries of the spouses).
Personal property includes immovable property which belonged to either of (he spouses prior to ihe manage or which accrued to that spouse by succession or donation after the date of the marriage. U will remain the exclusive property of the spouse to whom il belonged or to whom it accrued by way of inheritance or donation.
(b) Under the system of the legal community of goods the administrator of personal property differs from the administration of common property, that is :-
each spouse has the usufruct and free disposition of his/her personal property.each spouse has the power to administer the common property which has been obtained from his/her work.For example, the wife freely administer her common property which is derived from her gains emoluments, and profits whereas husband administers all the other common property. - https://www.kreola.mu/web/weddingProcedures
