Partindo da indenização por abandono afetivo, analisam-se neste texto duas perspectivas sobre o afeto: o sentimento e o dever de cuidado. A revisão das duas correntes leva à necessidade de fundamentar uma nova perspectiva que acolha a complexidade das relações familiares contemporâneas: o afeto enquanto vínculo constitutivo e distintivo da entidade familiar. A afetividade passa a ser entendida como o elemento necessário à constituição de família e à distinção desse tipo de relação frente a outras. Serão analisadas as teorias da causalidade adotadas no Brasil e na Itália, para avaliar a que melhor se aplica ao caso mencionado. Distinguem-se também os danos moral e existencial, para verificar qual deles é incidente em situações de abandono parental. Numa abordagem interdisciplinar, reavalia-se o princípio da afetividade e sua abordagem no ordenamento jurídico atual. Conclui-se que a subjetividade do afeto é inelidível e, por si mesmo, não pode constituir elemento gerador de direitos ou deveres. Postula-se então que os componentes de um grupo social têm autonomia para reconhecer o afeto como constituinte de sua relação, atribuindo-lhe constância tal, que se expresse no desejo mútuo de manter sua pertença e fortalecer sua vinculação recíproca. Esse ato de nomeação pelo qual tal grupo, em razão de seu afeto, se percebe como família é uma forma de objetivação suficiente para que o direito recupere, no afeto autodeclarado, seu objeto de intervenção.

The aim of the article is to analyze the paternity as a component of the institution of the family, its modern transformations and the resulting challenges, including modern features of parenthood. The authors show that the modern understanding of paternity is determined by gender identity and social constructs that equalize the rights of all persons who act as guardians of the child. The authors determine that the problem of paternity involves not only civil issues, but also family and in-ternational law. The authors of the article clearly show that paternity can act not only as a voluntary, conscious act, but also as a mandatory legal norm. In particu-lar, the authors note that it is possible to use the method of establishing paternity or delegating part of the authority to raise a child in the context of considering public law and its prevalence over family law. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that the importance of establishing the principles, as well as the legal conditions for implementing the functions of paternity, will form not only legal but also social forms and even economic parameters for citi-zens and address issues of ensuring human rights, including the rights of the child.

What is the significance of the receipt of independent advice by the plaintiff in a claim to set aside a transaction on the basis of a vitiating factor – such as duress, undue influence or unconscionable conduct? The generally held view has been that it is highly significant. Indeed, the receipt of advice has been understood as an answer to many such claims. The High Court of Australia’s decision in Thorne v Kennedy apparently changes this. Although that case concerned advice in relation to binding financial agreements under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), the decision has important implications across banking, commercial and other areas of practice. This article, then, offers a reanalysis of this question in light of this decision and other developments. The authors propose a new framework – based around two key questions – for conceptualising the function and significance of independent advice in a particular case. The article considers and develops this framework with regard to the main general law vitiating factors in both two-party and three-party cases.

This study wants to analyze the position of the Aceh qanun in the Indonesian legislative hierarchy. The discussion on the development of qanun cannot be separated from the events of the 1998 Reformation, which demanded the existence of democracy in various sectors of state life. The implementation of Islamic sharia in Aceh which is carried out by forming qanun-qanun is organized based on the Law on special autonomy, namely Law Number. 8 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for the Province of Aceh as the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam and Law Number. 11 of 2006 concerning Aceh Government. The author analyzes the legality of the Family Law Qanun Draft with the construction of constitutional law in terms of two points of view, namely the formality of establishing legislation and the concept of a unitary state. Based on the background that has been elaborated above, the issues to be discussed are: (1) how is the legality of the Family Law Qanun Draft in terms of the concept of a unitary state? (2) how is the legality of the Family Law Qanun Draft in terms of the formality of forming legislation? The position of Qanun in the legal system in Indonesia is different from local regulations in Indonesia which are also based on several reasons. First, legally the position of Qanun in Aceh Province clearly has a stronger legal force compared to other regional regulations in Indonesia. Secondly, sociologically, the majority of Indonesian population, especially in Aceh Province, implies that they have practiced Islam in their daily lives. Although the level of acceptance of Islamic law itself is stratified, nevertheless Islam becomes the dominant value in daily life, both in the spiritual content, language, culture, practice of behavior to the implementation of Islamic Sharia itself. Third, in terms of Islamic law, the content is loaded with the theme of justice. Islam which in its teachings also contains legal rules is a teaching system as well as a methodology for its achievement, because every nation has the same and universal ideals, in the form of justice, order, peace, harmony, holiness, and so forth. This rule is of course in accordance with the needs of humans who live on this earth.Keywords: Qanun, Family Law, Legislation.
