Abstract

Since 1973 developments have taken place in the field of international divorce law in the Netherlands. In the case of 23 February 1973, NJ 1973, 366, the Supreme Court ceased following the doctrine formulated in the Boon-Schmidt case (13 December 1907, W. 8636). Since then the Supreme Court has been repeatedly called upon to give its opinion on the question of which law should be applied in an international divorce granted in the Netherlands. The developments have (temporarily) stopped due to the entry into force (on 10 April 1981) of the Act of 25 March 1981 (Staatsblad1981 no. 166), containing the regulation of conflict of laws concerned with the dissolution of marriage and separation, and the recognition of these, in connection with the entry into force of the Conventions of Luxembourg and The Hague concerning the recognition of decisions on marriage and the recognition of divorce and separation.
