Article 748Effect of Cancellation of a Marriage

第七百四十八条(婚姻の取消しの効力)

The cancellation of a marriage has only prospective effect.

婚姻の取消しは、将来に向かってのみその効力を生ずる。

A party who did not know of the grounds to cancel at the time of marriage must make restitution for property gained as a result of the marriage, to the extent of the benefit that that party retains.

婚姻の時においてその取消しの原因があることを知らなかった当事者が、婚姻によって財産を得たときは、現に利益を受けている限度において、その返還をしなければならない。

A party who had knowledge of the grounds to cancel at the time of marriage must make restitution for all benefits obtained as a result of the marriage. In such a case, the party with knowledge is liable to compensate the other party for damage if the other party entered into the marriage in good faith.

婚姻の時においてその取消しの原因があることを知っていた当事者は、婚姻によって得た利益の全部を返還しなければならない。この場合において、相手方が善意であったときは、これに対して損害を賠償する責任を負う。
