Matrimonial law in the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia in civilian period

Tema ovog rada je razvoj bračnog prava u Kraljevini Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji u građanskom razdoblju. Na području Hrvatske i Slavonije na snazi su bile odredbe Općeg građanskog zakonika, Zakona o brakovima katolika, te Naputak za duhovne sudove u bračnim predmetima. Što se tiče bračnog prava primjenjivalo se austrijsko pravo, ali i pravo vjerske zajednice kojoj su pripadali bračni drugovi. U radu je opisan pojam braka, svrha i vrste brakova. Prije obrade pretpostavki za sklapanje braka, detaljno je opisan pojam zaruka. Bračne drugove u sklapanju braka mogle su spriječiti bračne zapreke, a postojale su crkvene, građanske i zapreke valjanosti. Nakon sklapanja braka odredili su prava i obveze za supružnike, te što se dogodi u slučaju nevaljanosti braka. Rastava nije bila dopuštena, osim rastave od stola i postelje koja nije dopuštala supružnicima ponovni ulazak u brak. Postojali su i mješoviti brakovi, a što se tiče građanskog braka on je na području Hrvatske uveden tek 1946. godine.The topic of this thesis is the development of matrimonial law in the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia in the civil period. In the territory of Croatia and Slavonia, the provisions of the General Civil Code, the Act on Marriage of Catholics and the Instruction to Ecclesiastical Courts in Matrimonial Matters were in force. The matrimonial law was regulated by the Austrian law, as well as the law of the religious community of the spouses. The thesis peruses the concept, purpose and types of marriages. Prior to elaborating prerequisites for conclusion of marriage, the concept of engagement is analysed. The conclusion of marriage could be obstructed by religious and civil impediments, as well as invalidating impediments. The rights and obligations of the spouses and consequences in the event of marriage annulment were determined after the marriage was concluded. Divorce was not permitted, except from separation from board and bed, which prohibited the spouses to be remarried. The marriage between spouses professing different religions was recognized, and the institution of civil marriage in the territory of Croatia was not introduced until 1946
