Abstract
Th e present paper emphasizes the need for changes in traditional paradigms of family law, which becomes even more indispensable in the context of the globalization process, cultural diff usion and biotechnological development. Th e multiculturalism of modern democratic societies indicates a clear shift in perception of terms such as “marriage” and “family”. Th eir meaning is signifi cantly extended and deepened. Th e crisis of “the nuclear family” model becomes remarkable. Concubinage relationships (hetero- and homosexual) are becoming increasingly common and, as such, require legal protection. In that respect, Polish law is still rather archaic and does not take into account the evolution of diverse forms of family life. Moreover, the Biotechnological revolution entails new challenges concerning artifi cial human reproduction. Th e former calls for a necessary redefi nition of concepts such as “motherhood” and “fatherhood”. Th e doctrinal debate lacks any rational consideration of the problems mentioned above. Th e adaptation of Polish law to modern standards – resulting from the broadly understood progress - is still restrained by “ideologizied” political narratives which appeal mainly to Christian anthropology and related Catholic dogmas.
