Article 1:166
in forceDissolution of marriage · Divorce (echtscheiding)
If the divorced spouses remarry each other or enter into a registered partnership, all consequences of the marriage revive by operation of law, as if no divorce had taken place. Nevertheless, the validity of legal acts performed between the dissolution of the marriage and the new marriage or the registered partnership is assessed according to the time of the act.
Indien de gescheiden echtgenoten met elkander hertrouwen of een geregistreerd partnerschap aangaan, herleven alle gevolgen van het huwelijk van rechtswege, alsof er geen echtscheiding had plaats gehad. Nochtans wordt de geldigheid van rechtshandelingen die tussen de ontbinding van het huwelijk en het nieuwe huwelijk of het geregistreerd partnerschap zijn verricht, beoordeeld naar het tijdstip der handeling.
