夫妻忠诚协议是将法定忠实义务予以契约化的身份协议。在民法典时代,应原则上认可忠诚协议的效力,理由包括: 忠诚协议满足民事法律行为的有效要件,此种协议并不存在一般性违背强行法或公序良俗的特征;忠诚协议是民法意思自治原则在婚姻家庭领域的体现;忠实义务是一种法定义务,忠诚协议是对法定忠实义务的重述;承认其效力有助于弥补法律对违反法定忠实义务之制裁的不足,有助于实现保护婚姻家庭这一婚姻家庭法的基本宗旨,有助于对优良家风和善良风俗的弘扬。忠诚协议虽能在夫妻之间产生拘束力,但其约定义务因涉人身性,故无法诉请履行。违反忠诚协议成立违约责任。当事人约定的违约金条款原则上有效,在约定违约金数额过高时,可参照适用违约金酌减规则;在双方关于违约后果的约定悖俗而无效时,可视为未约定违约金,当事人可就违约行为主张精神损害赔偿。并且,应当允许守约方在不离婚的情形下,向违约方主张违约金或违约损害赔偿。 |

Abstract: |
The loyalty agreement between husband and wife is an identity agreement that contracts legal loyalty obligations. In the era of the Civil Code, the validity of loyalty agreements should be recognized in principle, for the following reasons: Loyalty agreement satisfies the effective requirement of civil legal act, and this agreement is neither illegal nor contra bonos mores. And it is the embodiment of the principle of autonomy of civil law in marriage and family. Loyalty obligation is a legal obligation, and loyalty agreement is a restatement and elaboration of legal loyalty obligations. The recognition of its validity can make up for the lack of sanctions for violation of legal loyalty obligations. Although the loyalty agreement can be binding between husband and wife, it cant be claimed to be fulfilled because of the personal nature of the agreement. Breach of the loyalty agreement establishes liability for breach of contract. The liquidated damages agreed upon by the parties shall be valid in principle. If the agreed liquidated damages are excessively high, the liquidated damages discretionary rules may be applied with reference. When the agreement between the parties on the consequences of breach of contract is invalid due to an act contra bonos mores, it may be deemed that the liquidated damages have not been agreed, and the non breaching party shall be allowed to claim compensation for mental damages for breach of contract. Moreover, the liquidated damages or compensation for breach of contract should be allowed without divorce. |
