Abstract

The family is one of the most complex of social institutions. The fact that there are so many sides, so many aspects, to family relationships makes it possible for a large number of social factors to influence them. These range from the ratio between men and women in a country's population to the nature of the morality dominant in the given society. Most important among these factors is the economic system, which influences the status and development of the family as an institution both directly and through other aspects of social life: the position of women in society, the standard of living, government policy and law, social ideology and psychology, etc. Therefore, the triumph of socialism in the USSR led to a corresponding change in the field of marriage and family relationships and to the appearance of a new, socialist type of family. Socialization of property in the means of production resulted in a fundamental change in the nature of the very need for marriage: from an economic necessity it was transformed into a moral one.
