Characteristics of kinship law
Legal analysis: Kinship law refers to the general name of legal norms that adjust the rights and obligations of relatives arising from marriage, consanguinity and adoption. There are broad sense and narrow sense. In a broad sense, it refers to the laws that stipulate marriage, consanguinity and guardianship. Marriage is the basis of consanguinity, which is the main content of kinship. Although guardianship is not parental authority, it is an extension or supplement of parental authority. In a narrow sense, it refers to the law that only stipulates blood relationship but not marriage and guardianship. Capitalist countries often refer to laws and regulations regulating marriage and family relations as kinship laws, which are regulated by civil law in the legal system, either as part of the civil code or as part of the inheritance law of marital property in the civil code. In our country, the law regulating marriage and family relations is called marriage law, not kinship law, and it is a legal department independent of civil law.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
