MODERNIZATION OF LEGAL REGULATION OF OSSETIAN’S MARRIAGE AND FAMILY RELATIONS
Daueva, Tamara T.
Izvestia SOIGSI. 2020. IIS 38 (77).
Abstract: The article presents a comparative analysis of innovations in Ossetians family sphere and their
synthesis with traditional components of family life. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of
interaction between such regulatory institutions as Ossetian customary law, church orders, and the
legislation of the Russian Empire. The theoretical basis of the work is based on the concepts of those
scientist who researched the problems of traditional marriage and family relations, the peculiarities
of family transformation in the period of post-reform modernization. The source base for the article
was previously unpublished archival materials: court cases on divorce, bride prices; the Vladikavkaz
diocese correspondence with the district chief; annual reports of the district chiefs of Ossetia to the
chief of the Terek region. The novelty is predetermined by a substantive appeal to innovations and
their concrete results: contradictions between the traditional way of life of the family and certain
transformations, for example, changes in gender stereotypes, etc. The object of the research is a
traditional Ossetian family of the XIX century with customs and traditions typical for that period.
Our goal is to identify the features of introducing innovations applied by Russian administration
in the marriage and family sphere of the Ossetians. It should be clarified that only specific aspects
of traditional norms and attitudes of the Patriarchal family are subject to scientific analysis. It is
suggested that it was in the family where the most significant transformations of gender stereotypes
took place, which was also reflected in some aspects of the ethnic consciousness of the Ossetians.
Keywords: patriarchal family, customary law, adat, family law, divorce proceedings, bigamy, bride price, nomylus.
