Abstract

Property plays a vital role in society. It represents a significant aspect of a couple's shared life and often reflects their hard work, investments, and aspirations. The division of property during divorce or separation is a critical issue that not only affects the individuals involved but also has broader implications for societal well-being and gender equality. Proper management and fair distribution of matrimonial property are essential to ensure justice, economic stability, and social progress for all parties involved.
