Marriage and family represent one of the core legal institutions of Vietnamese law, playing a pivotal role in social relations and in the protection of citizens’ fundamental rights. In the context of deepening international integration, legal relationships involving marriage and divorce with foreign elements have become increasingly prevalent.
