TORGA HERNANDEZ, Nileidys. Sociodemographic and constitutional requirements for the modification of the economic regime of marriage in Cuba. []. , 12, 2, pp. 53-63.   02--2020. ISSN 2218-3620.

The economic regime of marriage is the statute in charge of establishing pecuniary interests between spouses and in their relations with third parties. The Cuban Family Code establishes a unique, legal and mandatory marital property system that corresponds to the Germanic community. At the time of its approval, the Family Code proposal meant the vindication of the female conquests and the strengthening of the economic stability of this sector, notably at a disadvantage at the time; but the situation of women today in Cuba is quite different. In fact, in all sectors of society, women appear in leading roles and with outstanding performance in the articulation and economic support of the family. For its part, the Cuban Constitution of 2019 protects a series of rights and introduces modern conceptions in family matters; so that it paves the way for the imminent modification of the Family Code. The present result intends to systematize the characteristics that from the social, demographic and legal context suggest the modification of the economic regime of marriage in Cuba; pointing towards the possibility of intervention of the autonomy of the will of the spouses in their disposition.
