Civil Law. Civil law encompasses the legal norms that regulate property-related and non-property-related personal relationships between individuals, organizations, or both.

The subject matter of civil law includes property and non-property relationships, as well as corporate relationships governed by civil law principles, which are based on equality, free will, and the independence of participants.

The objects of civil rights cover all tangible and intangible assets that are the subject of civil legal relationships.

Marriage. In Greece, marriage requires the mutual consent of both parties, the attainment of legal age (18 years), and the absence of close kinship. A marriage may be solemnized either as a civil or religious ceremony.

Divorce. In Greece, divorce can occur either by mutual consent or through a court decision. Grounds for divorce include infidelity, abuse, alcoholism, and other significant issues. Following a divorce, former spouses may be entitled to alimony and property division.

Inheritance Rights. Inheritance in Greece is governed by law and depends on familial relationships. In the absence of a will, the estate is distributed among legal heirs, which may include the spouse, children, parents, and other relatives.
