As on one of types of academic researches the number of essential requirements is imposed on the content of a thesis. The thesis must contain the new scientific results and provisions which are presented for the public defense. Reviewing of abstracts acts as one of forms of ensuring the compliance of the thesis to the established requirements. Separate scientific works draw attention with respect of the chosen subject matter, depth of theoretical research. However controversial works can be found. Incorrect title of the thesis, existence of huge number of stylistic mistakes, wrong definition of a subject matter and the purpose of the thesis, lack of novelty, etc. All this determines that the work can't be allowed to the public defense. The purpose of the given response is to react to one of works which both on formal grounds, and in the essence, doesn't meet the established requirements. The abstract of the thesis by Karibyan Susanna Onicovna "Matrimonial liability: the essence and enforcement according to the legislation of Russian Federation", presented to pursue the academic degree of the candidate of jurisprudence (specialty 12.00.03 - civil law; enterprise right; family law; international private law) is the matter of discussion. Although the thesis of S.O. Karibyan has been written on the substantial theme devoted to problems of the matrimonial liability, the content of the abstract demonstrates the unsatisfactory level of the research conducted by the author. Throughout the content of the feedback the reviewers repeatedly point out the errors of methodological nature. In the abstract, there are designs which from the domestic doctrine of the family (civil) law viewpoint are characterized by an ambiguity and discrepancy. It doesn't allow to fully understand the matter of the main theoretical conclusions presented by the author. Reviewers reveal some shortcomings of formulations of all key elements of a general characteristic of the thesis: object of research, its subject matter, purpose and tasks of the research. The analysis of the provisions submitted for defense showed that provisions don't sustain criteria of novelty. Some conclusions correspond to the designs which have settled in the law; others act as an example of one of the existing views on the solution of theoretical problems of the essence and the content of matrimonial liability; the third types of provisions have no value only for the reason of basing on the wrong perception of specific legal models. Thus, reviewers concluded that the thesis S.O. Karibyan "Matrimonial liability: the essence and enforcement according to the legislation of Russian Federation" doesn't comply with requirements imposed on this type of scientific works, and its author doesn't deserve the awarding of the seeking academic degree.
