Abstract

This paper aims to present comprehensions about marriage and its various forms that existed in ancient Rome. The Roman legal tradition has lasted for more than a millennium and marriage, as a legal institute, has undergone changes in its manifestations, from cum manu marriage to sine manu marriage until Justinian’s changes. Since the institution of marriage is directly related to the position of the woman, the paper presents the rights and obligations that the woman had in relation to each of these forms of marriage. This is primarily related to her social status and property rights in connection with marriage and dowry. Historically, the importance of Roman law is in the fact that it represents the foundation of all the rights of the continental legal system, and we see the results of that evolution today, among other things, in our positive marital and family law. Forms for marriage, consent of wills, property relations arising from marriage and other legal regulations under Roman law all significantly imply positive legal solutions. Although the social position of a woman and her position in marriage was, in principle, poor, it changed for the better over time, as a result of the emergence and inﬂuence of Christianity, drastic changes in the economy, and the disappearance of patriarchal morality.

KONCEPT BRAKA U RIMSKOM PRAVU I POLOŽAJ ŽENE U NJEMU
Savremeni pojam i definicija braka, kao zakonom uređena zajednica muškarca i žene, suštinski ne odstupa bitnije od koncepta braka u rimskom pravu. „Najraniji period rimskog carstva poznaje brak ne kao pravni odnos, već kao socijalnu činjenicu koja proizvodi određene pravne posledice.”[2]. Najšire posmatrano, brak predstavlja trajnu vezu između žene i muškarca, međutim, to nije dovoljno jer, po shvatanju Rimljana, trajnost te veze nije dovoljna za postojanje braka
Modestinova definicija „Brak je veza muža i žene, doživotna zajednica, ustanova božanskog i ljudskog prava” ima isti smisao kao i definicija iz Justinijanovih Institucija: „Brak je veza muža i žene, ustanovljena radi trajne životne zajednice.”[3]. Dakle, za nastanak braka zahtevalo se kumulativno ispunjenje dva uslova: zajednica života i trajna namera budućih supružnika da zajedno žive u braku
