- Abstract
Eclogue of the 8th century is an important legacy of Byzantium law, whose innovative features not only shaped the law of Byzantium, but also had a significant impact on the evolution of law in other countries. Adopted in the era of „iconoclasm" and „legal innovation", the Eclogue was influenced by an array of legal systems, including Church law - canons of Ecumenical Church Councils, Rules of the Holy fathers of the Orthodox Church, etc. Family law and marriage norms occupy a special place in the Eclogue. The present article analyzes the main institutions of marriage and family law: betrothal, conclusion and dissolution of marriage, personal and property legal relations of spouses, legal relations of parents and children, etc. The article focuses on the factors that shaped these law inststitutions, while highlighting most relevant issues of the current scholarly debate on the topic.
