Maintenance and payment of recovery of dowry in the event of annulment of a contract of marriage or temporary or permanent separation are matters involving conjugal rights and Syrian law does not regard marriage solely as a contractual obligation since, by virtue of its inviolable and sacrosanct nature, it cannot be viewed simply as a contractual debt between two parties which is regulated by the provisions of the Civil Code and contractual law; in fact, being the cornerstone of the family, it is governed by the Personal Status Act the rules and principles of which, notwithstanding some similarities, differ from those applicable to contracts.
Les affaires de pension alimentaire et de restitution de la dot en cas d'annulation du contrat de mariage ou de séparation temporaire ou permanente touchent au droit matrimonial, mais en droit syrien le mariage n'est pas considéré uniquement comme une obligation contractuelle car, de par sa nature sacro-sainte et inviolable, il ne peut être conçu comme une simple dette contractuelle réglementée par des dispositions du Code civil et celles relatives aux contrats, mais plutôt comme le fondement de la famille.
