Civil law is the fundamental branch of private law that regulates relationships between individuals — whether natural or legal persons — excluding the State in its capacity as a public authority.
It defines the legal framework governing everyday life, such as ownership rights, the formation and validity of contracts, family relations, and inheritance matters.
Main branches of Civil Law:
General Principles (General Law of Obligations):
Governs core legal concepts such as legal capacity, validity of legal acts, and good faith.
Law of Obligations:
Regulates obligations between individuals (e.g., contracts of sale, loan, lease, etc.).
Property Law:
Concerns rights in rem, including ownership, usufruct, mortgage, and related real rights.
Family Law:
Governs family relationships such as marriage, divorce, parental care, and adoption.
Inheritance Law:
Regulates the transfer of assets upon death (wills, intestate succession, etc.).
