Article 36Judicial Decisions on Ancillary Disposition in Cases of Termination of Marriage Other Than by Judgment
第三十六条（判決によらない婚姻の終了の場合の附帯処分についての裁判）
In litigation involving an action to rescind a marriage or an action for divorce, if the marriage that is the subject of that action has been terminated other than by a judgment, but a petition on an ancillary disposition has already been filed and any matter in question was not determined when the marriage was terminated, the court in charge of the case must conduct the trial and make a judicial decision on the ancillary disposition.
婚姻の取消し又は離婚の訴えに係る訴訟において判決によらないで当該訴えに係る婚姻が終了した場合において、既に附帯処分の申立てがされているときであって、その附帯処分に係る事項がその婚姻の終了に際し定められていないときは、受訴裁判所は、その附帯処分についての審理及び裁判をしなければならない。
