By Law no. 287 of July 17, 2009 on the Civil Code republished through Law no. 71/2011, the new Civil Code is subject to the tendency of the modern legislations to create a triple economic balance in relations between spouses matters by means of the matrimonial regimes established:
1. between spouses: the emergence of marital agreements, which led to the adoption of more flexible legal rules, that allow spouses a certain freedom to choose the regime of patrimonial relations between them;
2. within the family: to protect the interests of the family, they resorted to mandatory rules that provided for limitations and prohibitions (Art. 321-322 on family home - new concept in the Romanian law, art. 316 regarding the acts seriously threatening family interests);
3. between family and society-third parties: through the establishment of certain substantive requirements of legal acts, including of the marital agreements concluded by affidavit, with the obligation to be made public.
We believe that in the new Civil Code, Chapter VI of Book II - The family is called Patrimonial rights and obligations of spouses devotes Section 1 Common provisions, paragraphs 1-3, art. 312-328 to the primary regime. The primary regime governed by art. 312-328 of the new Civil Code is defined as all legal norms governing the relations established between spouses, or between one or both spouses on the one hand, and third parties, on the other hand, relations having as object existing assets at the time of marriage, acquired during it, as well as contracted obligations in connection with such goods or the carrying out of the obligations of marriage that apply to all marriages, regardless of the matrimonial regime to which the spouses are subjected.
