THE EVOLUTION OF WOMEN'S LAW IN EUROPE IN THE XIX CENTURY ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE SERBIAN CIVIL CODE OF 1844
He article examines the development of women's law in Serbia in the middle of the 19th century, which took place under the influence of general European trends. The tendency towards the established negative perception of the Serbian codification is revised, the unique features of the Serbian civil code are highlighted in comparison with the Austrian one, which they were guided by during its creation. The study concludes that early civil codification in Serbia allowed it to gain closer ties with rapidly developing European countries. At the same time, the legal status of women has changed significantly, which was brought closer to the European one. At the same time, women lost their traditional position in family cooperatives - zadrugs, acquiring in exchange personal rights close to those adopted in advanced European countries, although very insufficient by modern concepts. However, the collapse of outdated economic forms (cooperatives) was not the result of the introduction of the code, but was predetermined by the economic and social processes that took place in the country during this historical period. The article was written under the scientific supervision of I.V. Vaschekina, Associate Professor of the Department of Information Law, Informatics and Mathematics of the Russian State University of Justice, within the framework of a student research project.
