THE PLACE OF NORMS OF FAMILY LAW IN THE SYSTEM OF SOCIAL NORMS

Abstract

The content of social relations is the relationship and interaction of subjects. Such interconnections and interactions take place in accordance with the rules and regulations in force in society in particular, the norms of customary law, morality, religious norms, corporate and technical norms, and, most importantly, the norms established by the state. Social norms are not able to exist in a vacuum, separated from each other. In the process of regulating social relations, the active role of one group of social norms complement, infl uenced by other groups. The interaction of specifi c norms and their groups in a single system of social norms reveals the complex properties of the components of its internal structure that make up the system. The eff ectiveness of existing social norms is expressed in maintaining social harmony in civil society, proper public order, an atmosphere of equitable social partnership, universally binding rules of social responsibility, obtaining norms of conscious behavior of citizens, etc.The question on interrelation and interconnection of social and legal norms, in particular family law, is not new, but modern scholars undertake its study infrequently, unfortunately.The perception of family law as an extremely important social instrument for regulating social relations is impossible without an understanding of its place and interconnection in the general system of social norms. It is the need to rethink the place of family law norms in the system of social norms, their interaction with other social norms and led to our appeal to the stated topic.Based on the prevailing position in the theory of law that the system of social regulators consists of religious norms, customs, moral norms and legal norms, it was concluded that social norms do not exist in a vacuum and are not separated from each other, but are integrated into the general system of social relations and endowed with their characteristic features. Law regulates social relations not in isolation, but in a system with other social norms – morals, customs, religious and other regulators, with legal norms occupying a dominant and integrating position in this system. And hence the conclusion that other social norms along with legal norms are components of the mechanism of legal regulation of social relations.
