摘要：

2001 年修订的《中华人民共和国婚姻法》增设了关于离婚损害赔偿制度的规定，《中华人民共和国民法典》保留了离婚损害赔偿制度并增加了兜底条款。学理上一般将离婚损害赔偿分为离因损害和离婚损害两种。从理论维度看，离因损害与离婚损害都存在难以逾
越的理论困境。从比较法维度看，我国以离婚损害的立法例为参照，却制定了离因损害的规定；而在离因损害的立法例中，规定独立的离婚损害赔偿制度有画蛇添足之嫌。从司法实践维度看，法院对离婚损害赔偿制度适用中的若干重要问题的判决大相径庭。基于此，面对离婚损害赔偿制度理解与适用中的若干疑难问题，应当注意协调离婚损害赔偿与离婚财产分割之间的关系，同时在离婚损害赔偿制度不能有效发挥作用时，通过诉诸一般侵权责任的路径来实现保护当事人合法权益的功能。

Abstract:

China’s Marriage Law, as amended in 2001, introduced provisions on divorce damage compensation, which the Civil Code has retained while adding a catch-all clause. In legal theory, divorce damage compensation is generally categorized into two types: cause-based damage compensation and divorce based damage compensation. From a theoretical perspective, both types face insurmountable theoretical difficulties. From a comparative law perspective, while China referenced legislative examples of divorce-based damage compensation, it paradoxically enacted provisions for cause-based damage compensation. Moreover, in jurisdictions that adopt cause-based damage compensation, establishing an independent divorce damage compensation system appears redundant. From a judicial practice perspective, courts have rendered significantly divergent judgments on several crucial issues concerning the application of divorce damage compensation system. Given these circumstances, when addressing the complex issues in understanding and applying divorce damage compensation, attention should be paid to coordinating the relationship between divorce damage compensation and divorce property division. Furthermore, when the divorce damage compensation system fails to function effectively, protection of parties’legitimate rights and interests can be achieved through recourse to general tort liability principles.
