The law of persons in South Africa regulates the birth, private-law status and the death of a natural person.〔"the coming into being, private-law status and the coming to an end of a natural person." Kruger & Skelton 11.〕〔See Davel & Jordaan 1; Van der Vyver & Joubert 55.〕 It determines the requirements and qualifications for legal personhood or subjectivity in South Africa, and the rights and responsibilities that attach to it. == Objective and subjective law == As a discipline, the law of persons forms part of South Africa's negative and positive law, or the norms and rules which order the conduct or misconduct of the citizens.〔Kruger & Skelton 11.〕〔Van der Vyver & Joubert 31–32.〕 Objective law is distinguished from law in the subjective sense, which is "a network of legal relationships and messes among legal subjects,"〔Kruger & Skelton 12.〕 and which deals with rights,〔Davel & Jordaan 2.〕〔Heaton 1.〕 or "the claim that a legal subject has on a legal object."〔Kruger & Skelton 12.〕 These relationships may be divided into two broad types: # The subject-subject relationship, between the bearer of the right and other legal subjects. This comprises both a right and an obligation: "The legal subject's right exists against all other legal subjects, and they are obliged to respect it."〔Kruger & Skelton 12.〕 # The subject-object relationship, between the right-bearer and the legal object of his or her right. Objective law, on the other hand, is often divided into public and private law. The former deals with the law as it applies to the exercise of state authority, while the latter applies to the varieties of legal relationships between persons, described above. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Law of persons in South Africa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
