Family law which had been based on the traditional patriarchal family system centered around the paternal line has been repeatedly amended to go with the stream of the times which values the dignity of an individual and the principle of gender equality, and such amendments include the abolition of the household head system, equality of the paternal and maternal lines within the scope of relatives, actual joint exercise of parental rights by parents, property division system, and the introduction of the full adoption system and the adult guardianship system. In addition, various changes have occurred to litigation practice as well.
