Eheyssääntöjen
Eheyssääntöjen, which translates to "marriage rules" or "marital regulations" in English, refers to the legal framework governing marriage within a particular jurisdiction. These rules define the essential requirements for entering into a valid marriage, such as age of consent, prohibitions against consanguinity (marriage between close relatives), and the need for mutual consent between the parties. Eheyssääntöjen also outlines the procedures for solemnizing a marriage, which may involve civil ceremonies, religious ceremonies, or a combination of both, and specifies the documentation required.
Beyond the formation of marriage, eheyssääntöjen addresses the rights and responsibilities of spouses during the marriage.
