Currently, the Law on Marriage and
Family 2014 does not have any provision regarding the statute of limitations to
apply for a divorce case. Instead, this
law only provides the statute of limitation for the acceptance of a divorce petition. Accordingly: “Courts shall
accept divorce petitions in accordance with the Civil Proceedings Law”[1].
Therefore, under the general
provisions of the Civil Code 2015 and the Civil Proceedings
Code 2015 on statute of limitations, the spouses can apply for cases regarding
marriage and family at any time without being restrained by a
time limitation.
[1] Article 53.1 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014.
