Abstract
Brazilian marital property law is of considerable interest for a number of reasons. In Brazil, perhaps as in few other countries, one can observe the struggle of an old legal system-developed over a long history when the country was first a colony and then one of the less developed nations-to adapt itself to the economic and social pressures of rapid industrialization and urbanization, accompanied by a surge in social mobility and individual aspirations. The predominant regime of marital property in Brazil, the so-called universal community, is shared by few other countries with European legal roots.' Finally, recent legislation has profoundly altered the law of marital property; but it can fairly be said that the full effects of the new legislation are still unfelt.
