Historical roots of family and marriage in Uzbekistan
Abstract
AbstractThe article deals with the long history of the development of the foundations of the family law of the Uzbek people. In each period, the features and differences in family law legislation are analyzed. For example, if before the spread of Islam in Central Asia the «Avesta», the sacred book of Zoroastrianism, guided them then after the arrival of the Arabs, from the eighth to the beginning of the 20th century. Islamic law occupied a significant place in the history of Uzbekistan. It is worth noting that the jurists of Maverannahr in the Middle Ages made a great contribution to the development of the foundations of family law and the principle in their works. In the period from the conquest of Central Asia by Russia to the state independence of Uzbekistan, a new legal system was implemented based on the principles of Russian legislation under a common standard, including the Code on Marriage and Family in Marriage and Family Relations. After the proclamation of the state independence of Uzbekistan on August 31, 1991, strengthening and protecting the family, the health of mothers and children, raising a healthy and harmoniously developed generation, increasing the well-being of the family, strengthening care for young families, both from society and the state, became a priority in the republic. A new period of development of the Family Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan is associated with the proclamation of the “Year of the Family” in 1998, which chose its own path of family legal renewal and progress.
