LEGAL REGULATION AND SOCIAL CONDITIONALITY OF MARITAL AND FAMILY RELATIONS WITH A FOREIGN ELEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The study provides a critical analysis of the current conflict-of-laws mechanism regulating cross-border family unions. Based on an examination of national legislation and international obligations, systemic defects in the domestic regulatory framework that lead to the emergence of “limping” marital and family statuses are identified. Particular attention is paid to the destructive consequences of the dominance of the lex loci celebrationis principle and the disregard for the personal law of foreign citizens. The social prerequisites for the internationalization of the family sphere under the influence of globalization processes and migration flows are examined. The authors substantiate the state's institutional status in the Hague Conference on Private International Law and prove the invalidity of ratifying certain obsolete agreements. As a solution, specific recommendations are proposed for reforming the profile code aimed at restoring bilateral choice-of-law rules, introducing a public policy exception, and reorienting international cooperation vectors toward relevant global conventions.
