ARTICLE 5 RELEASE

13-4-82. Intermarriage of parties.

Intermarriage of the parties generally releases a debt created prior to marriage. However, intermarriage of the parties shall not release a debt arising from an antenuptial agreement, as such term is defined in Code Section 19-3-60.

(Orig. Code 1863, § 2804; Code 1868, § 2812; Code 1873, § 2863; Code 1882, § 2863; Civil Code 1895, § 3716; Civil Code 1910, § 4310; Code 1933, § 20-911; Ga. L. 2018, p. 155, § 2-1/HB 190.)

The 2018 amendment, effective July 1, 2018, in the second sentence, substituted "parties shall" for "parties does" in the middle and substituted "agreement, as such term is defined in Code Section 19-3-60" for "contract" at the end.
