Swiss Civil Code

¹ The es­tab­lish­ment, vari­ation or li­quid­a­tion of a mar­it­al prop­erty re­gime may not have the ef­fect of re­leas­ing an as­set with which one of the spouses or the mar­it­al uni­on had hitherto been li­able to cred­it­ors from such li­ab­il­ity.

² If such an as­set has been trans­ferred to the oth­er spouse, the lat­ter must pay the debt but may be re­leased from such li­ab­il­ity to the ex­tent that he or she may prove that the as­set re­ceived is worth less than the debt.
