Una propuesta de reconstrucción del sentido original del estado civil en el código civil chileno

Abstract

This article proposes a reconstruction of the concept of civil status as it is established in the Chilean Civil Code, based on both a historical and systematic analysis of the rules included in its original text. The foregoing in order to invalidate the criticism that most of the national authors have expressed in such regard, that, in our opinion, have ended up emptying it of content and, even worse, have led our legislator to propose erroneous reelaborations in the later modifications.
