Marital rights encompass the legal privileges and responsibilities granted to individuals within a marriage. These rights can vary depending on jurisdiction and may include rights such as spousal support, inheritance rights, property rights, and decision-making authority. Additionally, marital rights often dictate the legal obligations spouses owe to one another, such as fidelity, financial support, and mutual respect. Understanding marital rights is essential for navigating the legal aspects of marriage and ensuring the fair treatment of both spouses within the relationship.
