Evolution of marrige and family relations in the South-Ukrainian village of the end of the 19th- the first quarter of the 20th century

Journal Title: Схід - Year 2018, Vol 153, Issue 1

Abstract

In the article the author characterizes the process of evolution of family relations of the peasants of the South-Ukrainian region under the influence of modernization processes of the end of the 19th - the first quarter of the 20th century. The changes in the family relations of peasants of the end of the 19th and the first quarter of the 20th century can be traced on the base of the involvement of court cases, peasant diaries, statistical data, periodic materials and other historical sources. The author emphasizes that, despite the patriarchal nature of the state and church law, the strength of the marriage gradually began to shake from the second half of the 19th century: formed new models of social behavior of family members that were contrary to the traditionally established norms, for example, pre-marital relations, unregistered marriages, adultery, divorce of one's own accord, family conflict, extramarital children, double marriages, etc. It is explained that the transformation of views on marriage and family caused the searches of the alternative ways of self-realization for rural residents of Southern Ukraine. Revitalization of protest in the inside of peasant families against domestic violence is observed. At the end of the 19th - the first quarter of the 20th century the institution of the peasant family was subjected to transformations, which were associated with significant changes in the public understanding of the role and place of the family in the system of administrative and legal structures.
