The current householder system is not only to run counter to the constitution, but also to strengthen sexual discrimination. Furthermore, as a vestige of Japanese colonial rule, it is too different from our traditions. So, it should be abolished as soon as possible because it triggers so many problems. The constitution of the Republic of Korea gives a definition at the Article Clause 1 as follow; "Men are all equal before the law". The sexual discrimination must be prohibited in all fields including political·economic·social·cultural fields and others. However, the current householder system submits an abstract family having gap to the real living community. It consists of householder and family and it is made of the family that a householder is centered on the formation and succession of the family. Also, man is given the right of priority of succeeding to the status of householder in the current law of family. Though a large amount of portions of householder power are weakened, it still involves various problems including sexual discrimination and man and wife inequality. If it is believed that the laws and customs lead and control the consciousness of all social members, the householder system is a vicious habit or an old law that makes it undemocratic and unreasonable against this age. Therefore, it is an urgent task to abolish householder system in order to lead our society to the reasonable and democratic society because the abolishment of householder system can archive a real sexual equality. The government party and the opposition party consented to abolish householder system during special session of the national assembly in February. So, this thesis attempts to present reasonable justification of the abolishment of householder system to people against it, and make an alternative idea which is familiar with the public emotion, after the abolishment of it.

Our current Householder System has been maintained as a vestige of the previous Japanese colonial rule. However it infringes the basic principle of the constitution, fosters the sexual discrimination, and forces bitter pain and inhuman practices to the great number of the Koreans. As we cannot reverse the powerful downstream of a great river, the main council of the National Assembly passed as of March 2, 2005 a revised civil law concerning the Householder System. As its result the System will disappear in the history after two year`s delay, that is, from January 1, 2008. Yet there still remain various serious problems and conflicts that the System`s abolishment and its newly forming family system cause. In fact, the System has been abolished. Therefore, this paper will try to propose a more rational ground for the opposing party against the System`s abolishment. Furthermore this paper will suggest a more persuasive alternative for the people through a legal study on the change and prospect of the family system following the System`s abolishment.

본 논문에서는 한국 가족제도의 역사 및 문제점에 대하여 파악하고, 특히 일제식민통치의 잔재로 수많은 사람들에게 폐해와 고통을 주면서도 전통이라는 명목아래 지금껏 유지되어 왔던 호주제도의 문제점과 폐지의 당위성에 대하여 다시 한번 언급하였다. 또한 2005년 3월 2일 국회 본회의에서 민법 개정안이 가결되어, 이제 호주제도는 2년여의 유예기간을 거쳐 2008년 1월 1일부터 역사 속으로 영원히 사라지게 되었으므로, 이로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 새로운 민법개정안과 새로운 신분등록제도(안)에 대한 분석과 검토를 통하여 우리 정서에 맞는 방안을 제시하여 보았다. 그리고 무엇보다 새롭게 등장하는 가족의 형태에 대한 분석을 통하여 이에 대한 법률의 필요성에 대한 지적을 하였다. 끝으로 민법개정안이 통과되고 호주제도 폐지를 눈앞에 둔 시점에서 한국의 가족제도의 변화와 전망을 통하여 급격히 변화하는 시대를 준비하고자 시도하였다.

이자규제의 역사적 고찰 및 개정 이자제한법의 방향

윤상덕(Sang-duck Yun) 한국법학회 2011 법학연구 Vol.44 No.-

인류의 역사를 통하여 볼 때 이자(利子)의 규제는 시대에 따라 크게 변천되어 왔으며, 고대에는 이자를 취득하는 것은 도덕과 종교에 의하여 금지되었으므로 법적규제는 매우 소극적이었다. 그러나 근대 자본주의의 발달은 계약자유의 원칙아래서 고리화(高利貸)툴 더욱 성행하게 하였으며 그 폐단도 매우 크게 나타났다. 결국 이러한 폐단을 시정하기 위해 법에 의하여 이자의 규제가 있게 되었지만 그 실효성에는 한계가 있었다. 우리나라의 경우 고리의 폐단으로 인해 1962년부터 이자제한법을 제정ㆍ시행하여 왔으나, 1997년 닥쳐온 금융위기는 IMF의 지원 없이 외환문제를 해결할 수 없었던 정부가 결국 IMF의 요구를 받아들여 폐지하게 되었다. 그 후 이자제한법 부활에 대한 논란이 꾸준히 제기되어 왔으며, 급기야 2007년 6월 30일부터 이 법이 부활 시행되기에 이르렀다지만 법률상의 문제와 실효성의 한계로 새로이 법률개정이 이루어지게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이자(利子)규제의 역사적 고찰과 현행 이자제한법에 대한 분석을 통하여, 2011년 6월 29일 개정된 이자제한법의 실효성을 파악하여 이 법의 제정 목적처럼 국민경제생활의 안정과 경제정의의 실현을 위한 올바른 방향을 제시 하였다. Seen throughout the history of mankind, the regulations of interest have been greatly changed according to times. In ancient times people banned the collection of interest itself rather than the prohibition of high interest. The cause of such a ban dates back to morality and religion, when acquiring interest was an immoral act or a non-religious act and was naturally prohibited, therefore, its legal regulation was very negative. However, the development of modem capitalism took away the ground of the former thought banning human act to acquire the interest, and made it a principle to leave the act to the free will of the party based on the principle of freedom of contract. Making the most of this chance, the conventional high interest became more prevalent, and evil practices thereby grew. At length, the regulations of interest by the laws came out to correct such evil practices. Historically in Korea as well as in the East-West world the restriction of interest was executed in the Goryeo dynasty and the Yi dynasty, but the effectiveness had its limitation. As the evils of high interest continued also in modem society, the government enacted the Interest Restriction Act in 1962 and put it in force, but going beyond the legal restriction became generalized, which didn’t achieve a great effectiveness. The Interest Restriction Act keeping alive so, met the crisis of its existence with IMF Crisis in 1997. With the Financial Crisis rushing in 1997, the government which couldn’t solve the foreign currency problem without the support of IMF, finally accepted the request of IMF and abolished the Interest Restriction Act in 1997. From then on, the argument over the revival of the Interest Restriction Act was raised constantly, after all, the law came to revive from June 30, 2007. As shown in pros-con controversy in time of the revival, a number of problems occurred for 4 years after its revival, thus the amendment of the law was made. Therefore, in this research, first, we conducted a comparative analysis on the effectiveness of amended Interest Restriction Act through the historical review of the regulations of interest. Second, we figured out the problems of Korean Interest Restriction Act, and checked if this Act really fulfilled its performance fully for the restriction of high interest. Finally, we attempted to grasp the effectiveness of the Interest Restriction Act amended on June 29, 2011 and suggest a right direction for the stability of national economic life and the realization of economic justice like the purpose of enactment of the Interest Restriction Act.
