Abstract:
This research is, in part, a legal overview, analyzing how effective the enjoyment of the right over an
acquired property is in Rwandan law when life partners plan to break their cohabitation relationship, be it
during their lifetime or at the event of death. After showing what is in heart of the courts of justice and
how effective the tension effect does exist among the judges, the courts of justice are seen putting and
defending between many interests that of continuity over property. The pleasure of rich, the comfort, the
share of property for tranquil life bring more intense reasons pushing people to follow a marriage like
relationship. Of the life plans we are making in our sufficiently long period, a foundation of stability in
family life, the fact that family relations can be crushing while the relationship is broken, the continuity of
the right to use the in divided property. Such reasons are driving the life partners to require recognition of
their cohabitation, the grant of the right to use the acquired property, its continuation until the future
stabilities are established.
