Interwar Drafts of Czechoslovak Civil Code from “Womenʼs Point of View”

Author(s): Pavel Salák jr.
Subject(s): Law, Constitution, Jurisprudence
Published by: Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Nakladatelství Karolinum
Keywords: Czechoslovakia; family law; interwar civil law recodification; maternal power; family property

Summary/Abstract: The text does not intend to cover the legal position of women in the interwar drafts of a civil code in a complex manner, instead, it focuses on three different family law issues which were chosen to display how the views and demands of women were (or were not) reflected. As the authors of the recodification were exclusively men, the „women’s point of view“ is merely men’s vision of what the needs of women were. The three different issues are not directly linked, however, they show different approaches of the authors of the recodification.
