The matrimonial regime represents the entirety of the legal provisions concerning theproperty relations between spouses during marriage, as well as the legal documents they
conclude with other people, governing a (measurable) patrimonial asset.
In addition to the legal community regime, with the adoption of the new Romanian
Civil Code two new matrimonial regimes were introduced, namely the regime of property
separation and the regime of the conventional community.
Where the two spouses opt for one of the other two regimes, instead of the legal
community regime, it is necessary that they should sign a marital agreement.
