The new Romanian Civil Code (adopted in 2009, in effect since 2011) comprises a section dedicated to personality rights, as a novelty element compared to the previous Code. Their incorporation into the form of juridical norm follows both naturally from the historic evolution of some fundamental rights, both from the intention of the Romanian lawmaker to offer a comprehensive legal framework in the field of civil law.

Il contributo si addentra nell’ordinamento giuridico polacco per capire qual è lo statuto dell’essere umano non ancora nato. Ne esce un affresco interessante in cui all’esame del diritto costituzionale segue l’analisi del diritto penale e del diritto civile. Il quadro è complessivamente uniforme nel riconoscere il concepito come essere umano titolare dei diritti personalissimi e fondamentali alla vita, alla salute e all’integrità fisica, tuttavia non mancano contraddizioni e lacune che l’interpretazione dottrinale tenta di superare senza, però, riuscirci completamente. Al prospettato progetto di riforma del Codice civile avviato negli ultimi mesi è, appunto, affidato il compito di colmare le lacune e di superare le contraddizioni. L’aspetto più significativo riguarda la modifica del Codice civile per riconoscere la capacità giuridica del concepito per quanto riguarda i beni personali (vita, salute, integrità fisica), restando subordinata alla nascita la capacità giuridica per i diritti patrimoniali. Infine, l’articolo si sofferma brevemente sulla Petizione europea per la vita e la dignità dell’uomo a cui il Movimento per la vita polacco ha dato, e sta offrendo, un rilevante contributo. ---------- The contribution probes the Polish legal system to understand which is the status of the human being not yet born. An interesting fresco goes out in which the analysis of the criminal and civil law follows the analysis of the constitutional law. The picture is on the whole uniform in recognizing new born as a human being owner of the personal and fundamental rights to life, health and physical integrity, nevertheless there are contradictions and gaps, that the doctrinal interpretation is trying to overcome without, however, succeeding completely. The task of filling gaps and overcoming contradictions is just so committed to the Civil code reform project which began over the last few months. The most meaningful aspect concerns the change of the Civil code to recognize the legal capacity of new born with regards to the personal goods (life, health, physical integrity), legal capacity staying subordinate to the birth with regards to the patrimonial rights. Finally, the article dwells in short upon the European Petition for life and human dignity to which the Polish Movement for life has provided, and it is offering, a remarkable contribution.

The real property law is a legal institution of civil law, introduced in the Civil Code of 1916 by Status of Women Married - Law nº 4.121 / 1962, which required numerous requirements for its grant and maintenance, namely, (a) were married under the regime of community property; (b) during his lifetime; (c) and remained widow; (d) subject to the inheritance share, the property should be for the family residence and, finally, (e) were the only asset of this nature to inventory. With the advent of the Civil Code of 2002, however, it was extended to all property regime, removed the final term and with the Domestic Partnership Act, It was no longer needed that it was the only good of that nature to inventory. It was questioned the extent of its application in this case and the need for consideration to not fade the right to inheritance. Analyzed the rights involved, Right to inheritance, Property Rights, Right to living and the Real Property Law. It was concluded that the interpreter of the Law must, before the case, carry out the judgment of balancing the conflicting fundamental Rights so that there is maximum preservation of conflicting values, and hence the greatest achievement of constitutional values.

This chapter examines the legal framework for personal laws in India. It begins with an overview of the legal system introduced for personal laws during colonial rule, along with the evolution of legislation for such laws. It then considers Hindu law reforms following Independence and goes on to discuss the manner in which the courts have tackled the challenges to the constitutionality of personal laws. In particular, it explores two approaches used by the courts to test personal laws on the touchstone of fundamental rights: the non-interventionist approach and the scrutinising approach. The chapter concludes by assessing Article 44 of the Indian Constitution and the debate over the Uniform Civil Code.
