Responsibility and freedom in family relations: philosophical and legal analysis
The article discusses the problems of correlation of responsibility and freedom in family relations. Firstly, the writer determined the essential characteristics of the family as a social group. The author concluded that the systemic property of a family is its ability to self-regulation through mechanisms of social control and moral responsibility. At the same time, the writer considers that the legal regulation of individual family relations and the application of legal liability measures to persons violating the interests of other family members are quite justified by the goals of protecting motherhood, childhood and the family. Speaking about the nature of freedom in the family, the author notes that it is limited by its very nature, which is provided by legal norms that establish a model of acceptable behaviour and prevent others from violating freedom of choice within the framework of the model under consideration.
